So I’ve been working on the BATS website recently - http://www.bats.uk.net/ If it looks familiar then you’d be quite right as it’s based on Wordpress - the same blog engine that I use on xanthein.net.
So, why did I use a blog system for a “normal” website? Firstly, you have to understand what the old website was like. Designed completely in static HTML, edited using MS Frontpage - a design straight out of the 90s. From looking at archive.org it looks like the site was updated once in 2003, once in 2004 and once in 2005. In 2006 I took over running the website and only managed to make one change before deciding it was too much work it its current form! Continue reading ‘BATS Website’

So following up from the previous drama festival this year, we entered the Welwyn Drama Festival at the Campus West Theatre in Welwyn Garden City.
We performed the same show that we performed last time and got some good, valid criticism. The show itself went fairly OK, although we did get lost somewhere in the middle. We managed to get back on track though and got some laughs out of it.
Not sure if we’ll win anything but the main point is that we entered and have managed to show off our wares to a different audience from our usual crowd. We’ll definitely be back there next year!

So BATS (the drama group I’m a member of) entered two plays in the Bedfordshire One-Act Drama Festival 2006. Both were penned by our chairman, Andrew Jordan - one youth entry (directed by Andrew and Pauline) and one adult entry (directed by Andrew).
The youth entry (”The Way Home”) kicked off the festival and was very well performed and received on Thursday night. All five cast members did a great job and peaked at just the right time. Didn’t have much to get involved with there other than producing a Powerpoint presentation of a mobile phone that was used to flash up messages as the characters received them on their phones.
