Our thanks to Ian, James, Peter and David for their hard work and commitment to the adjudication process.

Please use the search box on the top right hand side of the table to find quickly what you are looking for. You can search any term at all, eg “Technical” which will result in a list of all the Technical nominations, or you could also search for your name or your society.

Many thanks to you all for your fantastic support at the dinner on Saturday night – another terrific turnout.!

Many congratulations to all the winners and nominees, very well done.

The J. Lees-Jones Drama Shield 2016 was awarded to Prestwich Amateur Dramatic Operatic Society (PADOS) for their production of “The Steamie”.

There were no nominations for The Athenaeum Rose Bowl so it was not awarded this year.

The Laurence Roberts Trophy was awarded to Geoff Sword (Summerseat Players) for his outstanding contribution to the amateur theatre movement.

The Muriel Goodwin Trophy was awarded to Janice Haughton (Hyde Little Theatre) for her outstanding contribution to the development and encouragement of young people in all aspects of amateur theatre.
