Club History: On October 16th, 1935 a new Society was inaugurated - The
Bangor Dramatic Club - later to be changed to The Bangor Drama Club. This
Society reached its 50th Anniversary this year and is still firmly
established in the forefront of amateur theatre in Northern Ireland. In the
first two seasons the Club, meeting each Wednesday evening in the Downshire
Hotel, usually interspersed play-readings with guest speakers and
discussions. The reading of plays, however, became more popular and today
the season's programme is built around the weekly readings. The Club was
still young when thoughts were turned to the live performing of plays. The
first of these was a one-act, "The Road of Poplars" presented not to a
Bangor audience but at the Belfast Dramatic Feis of 1937. It was given third
place in a highly competitive class bettered only by more experienced
groups. 1937 was the first "milestone" date in the Club's history.
After two formative but successful seasons the Club began to assume
something of its present form with the appointment of a President,
Vice-presidents, etc. The debut of Bangor Drama Club before a "home",
Bangor, audience was the public performance in January 1938 in the Dufferin
Hall. There is no doubt that the presentation of "Call it a Day", by Dodie
Smith, was an impressive introduction. It became apparent towards the end of
the war that the Club would have to seek accommodation more suitable to its
aspirations. So it was that in 1945 they acquired the old Home Guard Centre.
These premises were in a state of disrepair but due to the hard work during
the summer by a band of enthusiasts the Club opened the following season in
comfortable and commodious. The membership doubled in that year. In
1946 the Club undertook for the first time the running of the Bangor Drama
Festival still one of the most prestigious on the Festival circuit.
The following year, 1947, further Festival honours were gained when the Club
won first place in the Association of Ulster Amateur Dramatic Society's
Full-length and One-act Festivals with "She Passed Through Lorraine" and
"The Road to Poplars" respectively. Last year, 1984, the Club again
achieved the "double" with the Full-length "Hay Fever" and the One-act
"Winners". This latter production went on to win the British One-act
Festival in Cardiff and as a result have been invited to take part in a
World Festival in Japan in November 1985. (CLICK the last image

October 14th, David Grindle was laid to rest at Clandeboye following a
service in the Abbey, in which the Rector was assisted by the Revd.
Maurice Carey, M.A., Dean of Residences, Queen's University. The
large attendance at this service was evidence of the widespread sympathy
which we all feel for Mr. and Mrs. Grindle and the other members of the
family in this time of sad bereavement.
