Have a look at our recent social events.

  • Cast Birthday Party May 2009

    With five cast members having a birthday within a few days of each other, it was decided to hold a joint birthday party. The party took place at the Restaurante Casa Ventura, San Luis. With all members and friends invited there were quite a number of people at the party. Some members helped the evening along with a display of their talents in singing, readings and comedy. As the following photos show a great time was had by all.

  •  G & S Society Beach Party July 2009

Sea, sun, good food and good company all went together to make a great time for the annual beach party. Members, together with family and friends met at Feris beach, Torrevieja for a very casual and informal evening, swimming, playing games and socializing.

  • G & S Rehearsals & Golden Weddings

The Gilbert & Sullivan society returned to rehearsals after the summer break and had an extra special reason to celebrate. By an extraordinary coincidence TWO separate members of the society, John and Vivien,  were celebrating their Golden Wedding Anniversaries. Couples, John & Juliet Gardiner and Eric & Vivien Brumhead were married on the 15th August 1959.

Both couples have just returned from visiting the UK where they celebrated their anniversaries with family and friends at their respective Golf Clubs. The celebrating continued with the raising of a glass or two after the 1st rehearsal held on the 4th September and continued at a Luncheon at Hoggies Bar.

  • G & S Celebrates another successful show March 2010

After the Gondoliers was performed at the Casa de Cultura, Guardamar on 24th – 26th March 2010. It received wonderful applause from the audiences which totalled well over 600. The show raised 2,500Euros for the Mayor of Guardamar’s charity fund, and pushes the amount raised for charity to over 42,500Euros. The show was an explosion of colour, music and dance and started with a special treat of a beautiful guitar solo and ended with the cast coming down among the audience with a fiesta finale. The success of the show owes a lot to the talents of the Musical Director, Cyril Willoughby, the Accompanist Susan Brace Guest and the Stage Director, Trevor King.

To celebrate the crew and cast after a few days to recover from the rigours of performing gathered at El Vera's Restaurant in San Luis, Torreveija for a well earned party. After a wonderful meal, a few dinner speeches and more than a few drinks the evening ended with dancing the night away. A wonderful way to end the season before the work starts on the next production "Ruddigore".

  • G & S spreads to Calpe May 2010

As part of its very active social scene the Gilbert & Sullivan Society in Torrevieja (GASS) organized a day trip to Calpe in support of Calpe Gilbert and Sullivan Society (CGSS) who were putting on their first full stage production of one of Gilbert and Sullivan’s entertaining comic, musical operettas. A coach from the local firm popularly know as “David’s Coaches” took a party of over 50 members and friends first to Moraira, for a wonderful carvery lunch at Monroe’s, and then on to Calpe. Everyone was able to spend time enjoying the delights of Calpe before the coach took them to the Casa De Cultura for the evening production of CGSS’s “The Pirates of Penzance”.

The members of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society were very impressed with this, the first production of a complete show by the CGSS. The scenery and lighting effects were very well done and the costumes bright, colourful and flamboyant. The principals’ singing was a delight to listen to and was well supported by the chorus - a performance that Calpe can be proud of. Members of the Gilbert and Sullivan Society look forward to seeing their next production, spring 2011 which will be “H.M.S. Pinafore”.
