A fun play reading evening

Our next event is on Wednesday 15th April 2026 at Atalaya Golf and Country Club. Beverley and Jamie Stonehewer will be leading a play reading evening. These two are known for their sense of fun and their acting abilities. It will be a great night out.

It is a play with lots of parts for people to read so it could be your time to shine, or you can simply sit, listen, laugh and enjoy yourself!

The ticket cost is 14€ for ITS members and 17€ for non-members. This includes pizza slices and one drink. We are meeting at 6.15 pm onwards with the curtain up at 6.45 pm. Pizzas will be served around 7.45 pm.


Havana 65 Cocktails and Entertainment Evening

Thank you to everyone who supported this event and created another sell-out night for us. This is a lovely new venue right in the centre of San Pedro and we hope to use it again.

Bernie Murray and Sheila Mellor led this event with a good cast of other members to read the parts. It was a lovely and enjoyable experience. Well done to all involved.


The Annual General Meeting

All the existing officers and Board members were re-elected. Sheila Mellor and Fiona Poole were confirmed as our new vice presidents. Kate Jackson and Sandra Mole formally joined the Board.

Martin presented his annual report, Eileen presented her annual accounts, and the Special Recognition awards were made.

Karl and Delia Maresz were awarded Honorary Membership, our highest award which places them amongst some very worthy past winners. Their long service and commitment to ITS recognised their work on set design and building, Board membership, and front of house.

All the awards (and the reports) will be in the minutes of the AGM and later on our website.
