Daniel Hunt is the youngest actor to appear with the Drama Club. He was just four years old when he played Tiny Tim in “A Christmas Carol”.

Tom Kinder was the longest serving member of the Drama Club. His first appearance for the club was in 1946. His last appearance was in 1992 in “Noises Off” and he later directed “Abigail’s Party” at The King George’s Hall.

The largest audience ever recorded was for the first production of J. B. Priestley’s “When We Are Married.”

The smallest audience was for a double bill, “The Resounding Tinkle” and “Dock Brief.”

In order to obtain good seats for performances on the first day of public booking a queue used to form outside Webster’s Coffee Shop on Northgate before 8.30 am.

When the Drama Club first had concessions for Senior citizens there were queues of fifty to sixty people at The College Theatre waiting for the booking plan to arrive.

The National Anthem was last played before the start of a production in 1994.

Embarrassing props, an inflatable doll and a vibrator, were required for “Fur Coat and no Knickers” and “Breezeblock Park.” These props have mysteriously gone missing!

Geoff Eccles has appeared in just three plays in his forty year career at the Drama Club, but has yet to say a word
