What the Players have been up to.
June 2025 – Detling Players AGM
Detling Players AGM took place last evening 18/06/2025 and was followed by a MOST ENTERTAINING quiz. Many HUGE thanks to Rachael Thomas-Day for organising the quiz for us. There was wine, laughter and nibbles. Ultimately, after MUCH merriment, there was a Winning Team: Clare & Sam, a Team that won the wooden spoon: Laura and Sandra and several teams in-between.
Always a GOOD TIME TO BE HAD AT A DETLING PLAYERS SOCIAL EVENT.
August 2024 – Donation to Demelza House
Our April production this year was’ Travels with an Old Bag’ – An evening of comedy, drama and music. The two performances were well received by enthusiastic audiences and a good time was had by all.
What made the whole enterprise even better was, that over the two evenings, we succeeded in raising just over £900 for the Demelza House charity.
A (literally) large cheque was presented to a representative from the charity at our summer garden party on 18th August.

Detling Players Applauds
Celebrating the achievements of our members and of other groups nearby.
July 2024: A BIG round of applause for Four Doors Productions, a new company who entered the 2024 Duncan Rand One Act Play Festival and achieved 3rd place. They also won ‘best costume’ and three merit awards. A terrific result for a new group.
Detling Players members Dave Wilson and Sam Tunstill-Baldock were closely involved. Dave directed and Sam gave a great performance on stage.
The play, ‘Opening a Fuzzwallops sort of Mind’, was described by our Secretary, Gill Munson, as ‘unusual and thought-provoking’.
If you missed the performances on 12th and 13th July, you still have an opportunity to see it on Friday 26th July at All Saints Church, Hempstead, Gillingham.
