There were three certificates awarded at the end but I did not write down the details. Can any one help, please? Further, the Adjudicator indicated that there would be a couple more certificates but there had been insufficient time for him to organise same and that they would be sent to those concerned.
Once again, sorry for not being able to notate it all and I apologise for any omissions, errors etc.
Great drama festival. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing the plays and performances. Keep up the good work, all.
