The Theatre’s Trust arrived on the Island yesterday, touring around between Ryde, Shanklin, Ventnor; Medina; Freshwater; Apollo and Trinity theatres.
They have been keen for quite some time to come down to find out what can be done to help the Island theatres, but have encountered difficulties in finding times convenient to senior IW council officers.
We understand that they met with the Friends of Shanklin theatre last night and also had a two hour tour of the Ventnor Winter Gardens.
They visited Ventnor Winter Gardens at the request of its management committee which is made up of Ventnor Town Council members.
We’ll report back when we hear how things went.
