Sharnbrook Mill Theatre hosted the NODA East District 2 Awards

Richard Fitt, our NODA district representative, recently contacted us about hosting the inaugural NODA East District 2 Awards and we were, of course, happy to oblige.

We had a large crowd from different societies (including The Mill) attend the awards, on Sunday, 13th October, and a great time was had by all.

Richard said afterwards:

“Thank you to everybody who came to yesterday’s awards meeting. I think we all had a fun time and enjoyed the day. Alison and I certainly did!
