In the run up to Christmas our Drama for Democracy group is having a swap shop to help reuse instead of buying more stuff. A good way to get rid of some old props and costume too!

The Polis have finally caught up with our director @mslizstrange - You're nicked!
Today at @ootbdrillhall we brought retired police officer Gerard McEwan (from Edinburgh Lothian and Borders Police Hostirical Society) in for questioning. Absolutely loved hearing his many stories.
