Beckenham Theatre Centre is managed by a board of up to 16 trustees (currently 10), elected annually by a majority vote at the members' AGM. While some look after specific aspects of our work, they operate with collective responsibility for the overall management of the theatre. They bring a wide range of specialist knowledge and experience to their roles, and all volunteer their time to do so.

They meet formally every five to six weeks. The trustees represent members' interests, so if you have any issues you would like raised at a trustee meeting, or if you would like information about how to become more involved in a particular area, feel free to contact any of the board, using the details listed in the latest newsletter.

Chaperones needed!

• Would you like to experience a bit of Christmas magic this December?
• Would you like to spread a bit of festive joy?
• Would you like to give the children at our theatre a gift that costs nothing, but will let them enjoy the panto season?

  Of course you would!

If you have a chaperone licence or a CRB form, and / or a current First Aid qualification, and a few hours free over the panto season, we need you! Children performing in plays at the theatre now need to be supervised by chaperones approved by the London Borough of Bromley. Without registered chaperones, we simply cannot let children perform. Chaperone licences are free and easy to apply for. If you already have a Bromley CRB check, you could be a licenced chaperone within a few weeks if you apply now - just in time for the start of the panto season!

If you’re interested in helping out, but don’t have a CRB check, don’t worry! Apply for a chaperone licence now, and you can join the party at our children’s productions in May and October!

Our children are beautifully behaved (Oh no, they’re not! Oh yes, they are!) and just need to have an adult around during the performance. If you could spare a few hours to supervise them, you’d not only get a little of the Christmas panto magic, you’d also get enough of that lovely, warm, good-deed glowy feeling to see you through the winter months!

To volunteer to chaperone or act as a first-aider, or for more information, please e-mail Louise. Alternatively, you can request a chaperone application pack directly from Bromley council by contacting Lucy Jones.
