  • Aldermaston Court Drama Society

    Hi Catherine,

    Many thanks for your note about your father Peter Holmes and his involvement with AEI Dramatic Society. Our knowledge of this Society is limited and comes from a couple of programmes found on eBay a few years ago. Would you have any more information that we could use? I would be really interested as I founded the Aldermaston Players in 1993 and the history of drama in Aldermaston is fascinating.

    Regards

    Chris Boott
    Vice Chair – Aldermaston History Group

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for this as we now have permission to reproduce the article on the website … for a small consideration. Just do an onsite search for ‘Tatler’ and you’ll find it.
