Sadly, the Duchess Theatre in Long Eaton burnt down in November 2003.
The rebuilding programme has unfortunately come to a temporary halt. [See Link--p.10] As a society, 3Cs is endeavouring to support the rebuilding project in every way we can. Initially, we were able to donate the entire proceeds from our Spring Concerts in May 2004 to the Chatsworth Centre Phoenix Fund, and the next year raised £770 for the Chatsworth Centre's ongoing management funds by giving an informal Evening of Gilbert & Sullivan.
Eric Brook (Chairman of 3Cs) presenting a cheque for £1100 to Leon Wade (Chairman of Long Eaton & District Arts Council) and Joy Thurman (Manager of the Chatsworth Centre). An additional £200 was forwarded shortly.
