Sustainable Supper Club Rules!

GCDTadmin — Mon, 30 Oct 2017 13:55:56 +0000

The first rule of Supper Club is there are no rules!

In the evening of the last Saturday of each month a group of locals bring together ingredients from home, usually food that might otherwise be wasted, and see what delicious food we can make from our combined ingredients.

Our September Supper Club participants created a three course meal together.

MENU

Freshly made flatbread and beetroot dip with fresh Courgette salad

Leek and potato bake

Green bean tagliatelle

Baked apple and red current crisp with cream.

As well as the chance to use up those leftovers from home, we practice our food imagination and learn new techniques from our Supper Club co-ordinator.

Supper Club is a fun night, with the chance to cook, swap ideas and above all share food and drink around the table.

The Monthly Supper club sessions are currently fully booked but if you are interested in cooking and finding out ways in which you can reduce food waste please get in touch with Michaela on michaela.jackson@gorebridge.co.uk

Casting Call for Gorebridge Play

GCDTadmin — Sat, 06 May 2017 09:24:45 +0000

3in1 Theatre is casting for a brand-new play in partnership and funded by the Gorebridge Community Development Trust through the Heritage Lottery Fund, written about the life of Gorebridge woman and early 20^th century author, Annie S. Swan. The play follows Annie’s extraordinary life from 1910 – 1943, focusing on her work during the First World War spanning three countries – the UK, France and USA.

Artistic Director Matt Dunn said, ‘Annie Swan is a truly extraordinary Scottish woman, it has been a real privilege to write this play and I cannot wait to share it with its cast. This play, appropriately titled Swan, takes our audience through Annie’s life from 1910-1943 affectionately meeting her friends and foes along the way. This is a great opportunity for anyone of all skill level to come along and get involved in a play that will really mean something to its cast and audience.’

We are looking for a large cast of over 30 actors. Actors will be unpaid however you will be fully supported throughout the rehearsal process. All costumes will be provided.

The play will run for four nights over the first two weeks of September, in the new multi million pound Gorebridge Beacon. Rehearsals will take place every Monday and Wednesday night in Gorebridge from May – September.

If you would like to come along and audition or have any questions, please email 3in1theatre@gmail.com or call us on 07508601307 for more details.
