Dave Adey
Dave has been around, well, as long as most people can remember! He's performed with many of the local societies, usually taking the comic line for his characterisations. His involvement at the NAC has been mainly with the Centre Theatre Company, (as in the photo, right, playing Shadbolt in "Yeomen" 1999), or at least it was until he found himself 'strong-armed' into the vice-chair's post in May that year!

Vice Chairman

Wendy Foster
Wendy has been a keen supporter of the NAC and the theatre for many years, and joined the committee as secretary at the 2007 AGM. Married to trustee John, she's also keen to ensure that the venue runs smoothly on all fronts.

John Foster
John is a relatively recent addition to the committee, and although he claims to be a novice (even at the ripe old age of **) at theatre work, he manages to continually acquit himself backstage with more than adequate aplomb! (Just don't try to get him to work the new-fangled devil's equipment in the control room, though!!).

John accepted the position of trustee some years ago, and since then has been pretty good at keeping a watchful eye on proceedings!

Ray Durkin
Ray is one half (the 'R'!) of the juggernaut of a panto company that is PR Productions. After the sad demise of our previous second trustee, Roy Woodcock, Ray was asked to take up the reins and gladly agreed.

Keith Chandler
Keith is the other of the two remaining committee members who has been around since the building was first opened back in 1969 (when the chairman was still in short trousers!). He's been Buildings Officer and Sound Engineer amongst other posts, and is presently our Bar Manager and Licensee. If you look at any cable, fixture or fitting in the building, Keith has, most likely, had a hand in putting it there! He is undoubtedly one of the few people here who the Arts Council can definitely NOT do without!

Licensee/Bar Manager/Buildings Maintenance

Simon Winterman
Simon has been around the Abbey Theatre for some years, and volunteered for service on the Arts Council in 2004. He heads up the marketing team at present, which is looking at how we can improve the way that we promote the events at the theatre.
Outside of the NAC itself, Simon is the founder member and director of a new drama group who are bringing a regular taste of live plays to our stage - the Sudden Impulse Theatre Company.

Lisa Gudger
Lisa is a local choreographer and some-time dance teacher, and has contributed to several shows here at the Abbey and is involved with a somewhat disreputable (sorry, Paul!) character who keeps turning up at the theatre with a video camera, a projector, or both! Lisa agreed to the daunting task of looking at potential funding possibilities, something we have always needed to follow but never have the time to take up.

Dave Sedgwick
Currently treasurer of the Abbey Players, Dave has been around the NAC for a while with that company, being a founder member of the Players. This isn't Dave's first time on the committee, having served a short term some years ago. Dave also manages the recently opened and succesful Abbey Theatre Costume Hire, a joint venture between NAC and the Abbey Players
