·       Paper Aeroplanes – Week of Easter rehearsals try out the paper planes in the theatre. There is no access to the theatre on Thursday the 17th due to tension grid inspection.
·       The 2 graves, Chris has suggested using trap doors in the deck to lift up for them that way the support will be there and then use Darren’s idea of the deck underneath lined with the tarpaulin with the soil on.
·       Nick has said why use chalk paint when we can just chalk on the deck as it is
