AMATEUR actors are celebrating their society's 50th anniversary by staging their 100th show.

The Bedale Dramatic Society has its golden jubilee this year and for its spring production in April has chosen the farce Will You Still Love Me in the Morning?

The society began in 1953 with the JB Priestley play When We Are Married, and relatives of the cast of that show are in the upcoming production.

As part of the celebrations, the society will hold a reunion of past members and patrons.

Publicity officer Jill Simpson would like to hear from anyone with past connections with the society, and can be contacted on (01609) 775875.
