[Afamilyatwar-list] Information

[Robin Stop ford]

Hi All
I made contact with a member of Lymington Players about possibly contacting Lesley Nunnerley.
I was told that she does not talk openly about her AFAW years and they would not give me any contact details.
They did, however, promise to pass on my good wishes to Lesley and to thank her for her stunning portrayal of Margaret.

The local newspaper, called Southern Daily Echo,  publishes its amateur theatrical awards each year. In the edition of 21 January 2008 Lesley received an award for Lady Frederick. Here is a link

So the actual programmes are 50 minutes long. When they are shown in the UK a second (10 minutes) programme is shown after the main one. This programme shows how the one just shown was made.
