1960

During the 1960s, WADS generally staged two productions a year right up until 1969, when it broke the mould and put on three. Towards the end of the decade, WADS introduced some other public activities, namely its first garden fete in 1967, cheese and wine evenings in 1967 and 1969 (tickets were 5/-), and a WADS night in 1969.

The first production of 1960 was Down Came a Blackbird, by Peter Blackmore.
