After the success of "the Pirates" in 1969, the boys once again joined with the
girls to produce another Gilbert and Sullivan - this time, "The Mikado".
It was apparently a little fraught - a rail strike delayed the delivery of the costumes
and props, and Janet Low was ill for the first two performances. Her older sister happened
to know the part, and so stepped in at the last minute.
The after-show part on the last night was held at St Simon's Church Hall.
There is a gallery of photos from the dress
rehearsal.
