Ian Whitewood Has stepped down as chairman of the Festival Players. I think we all would like to thank him for his dedication to the festival players over the past few years. Chris  Stead has been elected as the new Chairman and I hope that we can show him a warm welcome and our support over the coming year. Ian will still be an active member of the group and has agreed to still be the main contact for the Historic dockyard.
