Social

There is a strong social side to the Penguin Club and we meet regularly to catch up on news and discuss theatre and life in general. We particularly welcome new members along to all our social events as these are a great way to get to know us outside of the theatre and find out more about what we do. We have a regular monthly meet-up outside of theatres, and we organise ad-hoc events throughout the year. Some of these have included punting, walking, cycling, bowling and we’re always open to suggestions for activities.

A much-anticipated annual event is our Christmas Dinner, which – due to the number of shows that take place in December – is held in early Spring!

First Wednesday drinks is our monthly social gathering in a Cambridge pub; as you might guess from its title it happens on the first Wednesday of each month. We’re easy to find in the pub as we’re the only table with a flock of toy Penguins! The book club meets on the second Tuesday of each month.

Ad-hoc socials are often based on suggestions from members. The most popular of these is “Theatre Thursday” where we arrange to go and watch a show from the auditorium.

    – 4:00 pm
    Intro to Tech at the ADC
    ADC Theatre

    Website link: http://penguinclub.org.uk/node/6144

    We are running an Intro to Tech session at the ADC, Sunday 23rd March, 1-4pm.
     
    If you are (relatively) new to tech at the ADC this would be the perfect opportunity to learn before the next season of shows begins (there are 5 get-ins in April!)
    We will cover some key the useful skills for get ins, as well as going into more detail on some areas. Exactly what will be covered will depend on attendance, but there will be some mixture of set, lighting and sound to choose from.
     
    If you are planning on attending please fill out this form so we have an idea of who to expect. If there are specific things you would like covered please put them in the form and we’ll do our best to accommodate. If you have any other questions/comments then drop me an email.

    If you’ve not been to the ADC before and need directions/access info please let me know.
     
     
    Best wishes,
     
    Alice
     
     
    P.S. If you are an experienced penguin and fancy helping run this, please let me know!
