Society social..

Social events also play an important part in KODS, as we are a fun loving bunch! Various events and activities are organised by the KODS committee with help from members and in conjunction with Carpet Trades Operatic Society. The social year starts in September, with our annual after-play dinner. This is usually an informal meal at a local hostelry. From October to December, we hold events such as quizzes, beetle drives, skittles evenings, bonfire parties. We have also been known to have weekends away at the seaside- Blackpool in November is extrememly bracing! Christmas time is always celebratated within the Society. The last rehearsal before Christmas is always curtailed to allow for the consumption of sausage rolls, mince pies etc all made or provided for by our Patron. A Christmas party has become a regular event with "The Presidents Game" being the highlight. The Annual musical (the end of February/beginning of March) allows us to indulge in balti nights and after show parties - burning the candle at both ends whilst trying to work at the day job at the same time! The more formal Annual Dinner is normally held a couple of weeks later, after a reasonable period of recovery.. In the summer (when we have one) we have held barbeques, progressive days and this year a River boat Shuffle was organised. Most of our social events do seem to involve food and drink, but in the past we have also organised 24 hour sponsored sings in aid of Leukaemia Research, treasure hunts / car rallies and theatre trips. We are always looking for new ideas, so if anyone wishing to join the society has organised anything different from the above, we would love to hear from you so that we can give it a try!
