To all clubs who have scheduled a season around Easter time.
In spite of the liberalistaion of what we can or can't do/watch on Good Friday, live performance is still not permitted!

We have received informatiopn from official sources that "Public live theatrical performances are not permittted on Good Friday" This year the date is March 29
Several clubs have scheduled shows around that time so please take note of this restriction and reschedule your performances accordingly

Further to my warning about "live performances" on Good Friday.
Apparantly it's the remains of very early laws on what is or is not "proper" on this day. It seems that while the law has over time been amended liveshows are still outlawed. I am awaiting clarification from the Min of Fair Trading.
Presumably the matter has not been deemed of sufficient importance to bring up to date! My source of info is a senior politician.
As far as I can see the only way to get something done is for all theatre etc to lobby for a change, although I imagine it is not on the Government 's high priority list!
