What are the benefits to becoming a member?
As well as getting the opportunity to be involved in our productions, members are also invited to the AGM in August -this will allow you to hear a report on the past year & information about the next year's productions, and you will have the chance to vote on decisions relating to the Canterbury Players.
As a member, you can also join the Canterbury Players committee.
What are the benefits to joining the committee?
