SPOTS - The Panto People!




SPOTS are honoured to report that we we were highly commended in our nomination for one of NATS' awards for outstanding achievement. The NATS award scheme aims to recognise those who have achieved something outstanding in the six award categories of Safety, Driving Efficiency, Excellence in Customer Service, Working in Partnership and that in which SPOTS was nominated, Social and Environmental Responsibility. In the 12 years since SPOTS was conceived we've performed eleven shows, given over £11000 to charities and provided services free of charge to many local schools, theatre groups and concerts. We do it because we love it - even if sometimes it drives the stress levels way up high! We don't ask for recognition however, to recieve a commendation from NATS is something for every member past and present to be very proud of. You deserve it. Phil, May 2008. See the full text of our nominations here: The Secret of the Glass Key :2006 "Another fine performance. It isn't worth going to a 'professional' production any more when you can have a better time with SPOTS." "The bus ride scene was brilliant, and as for the aerobics... well!" Photos and background info. Cinderella :2005 "My wife and I attended the SPOTS production of Cinderella on the 29 Jan. We thoroughly enjoyed the evening and I would like to congratulate the SPOTS troupe for giving us a wonderful evening of fun and laughter. The SPOTS panto is one of the great NATS institutions so, if you are not familiar with their endeavours, I strongly recommend that you book to see their show next year – or buy the DVD of this year’s show to see what you missed!" R.W., Feb '05. Ali Baba: 2004 "I would just like to say congratulations on another fine performance this year... I think Alibaba was well received and in parts exceptional. Last year I sold tickets to 3 friends this year it was 6. You never know next time it may be 12." "Fantastic performance on Saturday night, my wife and I both thought it was excellent. Thanks for the 'invitation' to join you on stage as well, it was good fun. It was great to see that sort of effort from Swanwick teams." "Excellent show. All my group enjoyed Friday evening (2 children and three 'adults'). Great production and good fun. Look forward to the pictures!"
