NORTHLEW Amateur Dramatics Society has received £311 from the Okehampton Waitrose Community Matters scheme.

Chairman Richard Rossiter-Stead said: ‘We are thrilled to receive this cash and we want to say thanks to Waitrose and all the customers that supported us. This means our amateur dramatic society can now purchase some more lighting equipment which will make a big difference to our staging.

‘Anyone interested in joining us to tread the boards or to help backstage would be more than welcome and can call our secretary Sarah Wilby on 01409 221995.’
