2007 Beckons!

The 2006-07 Committee decided that meetings at someone's abode were oft too laden with temptations (Read: kitchen, fridge, food) and so decided to lock themselves up in The Ascott on the weekend of January 5th-6th with nothing but pens, paper, and, er, food.

The photo below is of us on the evening of Saturday Jan 5th, all tired out braving the Saturday KL traffic and hordes of parents and students attending the nearby education fair.

See what's in the middle of the table? :-D (By the way, those were great cookies, Pat; and Cris - awesome muffins!)

2007-08 will be bustling with activity! We'll be reviving the Theatre Education Programme, or 'TEP', an initiative to provide education in the performance arts in line with the Society's vision. The TEP was successfully run in 2005 with a Workshop for Choral Groups facilitated by British choral conductor Peter Broadbent, and in with drama workshops by Michael Xavier Voon and Colin Kirton in 2004.

Also, we'll be starting to organise monthly DVD Nites (tentatively set at the first Monday of every month) - these will be informal get-togethers where members will meet up over snacks and a DVD or two of musical productions.

And then, of course, there's this blog! :) Members of the Committee will regularly post updates on Society happenings, and Phil members (and, well, everyone else on cyberspace) are welcome to post their comments (just click on the "comments" link at the bottom of each blog post). The official website of The Phil will also be revamped for the upcoming 50th anniversary celebrations, with new features and interactivity added in. Comments from members are always welcome - you know where to find us:

* Post a comment on this blog!

* Email us! (selangor.phil@gmail.com)

* Post a message on the members' pssnews egroup!

* If you prefer to speak to someone in person, there's always our phone numbers/email addresses if you have them!

More on what's in store for 2007-08 will be posted soon... keep your browsers bookmarked on this blog.

The photo below is of us on the morning of Sunday Jan 6th, all refreshed and ready to take on more of Pat's home-made cookies, only to find that Nigel had polished off most of it over late-night TV shows while the rest of us were asleep. Ah well.
