Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise. - Les Miserables” Today our family lost its centre. Dale Reid passed peacefully away at home at 3.33pm, surrounded by her girls, losing her courageous battle with Cancer. She was our beloved wife, mum and G’ma, and we already miss her more than words can say. She was our everything, and we now face the tough journey of navigating life without her here beside us. We are grateful for the many friends and family who loved Mum, and who have done so much to support us all through this incredibly difficult time. She was so loved by so many, and we are the lucky ones for having known and loved such a true beauty, inside and out. These are the beautiful words from Sarah Kerr, Dale’s eldest daughter as she shared the news of her beloved Mother’s passing last Thursday. Dale was the wife of MTNZ Past President and Life Member Ian, a loved mother of her four girls, and a devoted grandmother Dale was a former President of Napier Operatic Society, a role she held for four years, she was a fantastic marketer, production manager, seamstress, properties manager, there weren’t many roles in theatre she did not undertake, and she will be sorely missed by us all at NOS. To Ian, Sarah, Janine, Anna and Hayley and their families, I offer our love and deepest sympathy as they tread the path without their beloved wife and mother. For those of you who weren’t at the AGM and Training Weekend in New Plymouth two weeks ago, I have to tell you it a great weekend. Thank you to Jenny Bennett and New Plymouth Operatic, you did a fantastic job with your organisation, and to all involved my sincere thanks and congratulations. I do not want to mention other individuals in fear of missing someone out, but to everyone from New Plymouth Operatic and our amazing “techies” (you know who you are), may I say again a huge thank you from me. To all those presenters of seminars and forums, how lucky were we to have you, I know that everyone went away from New Plymouth all the richer for having received at least some of your wonderful ideas and knowledge. A very special thank you to Jackie Clarke who took time out from her hectic schedule to present for us, and also to entertain us all on Saturday night (and David Atkins for the cameo!) And to all the other amazing presenters, thank you so much for travelling to New Plymouth to share your knowledge, Musical Theatre is all the better for your input. And our amazing Sponsors, where would we be without you, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. 3 Musical Theatre still has to move forward with all the changes we have seen over recent times, I encourage you all to embrace the changes in Health and Safety and the New Financial Reporting Legislation, and if you need any help with these issues please contact Kate who will happily point you in the right direction - "Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change."— Confucius My special thanks to Ngaire, Pauline and Gwen, who have left the MTNZ Executive, I hope you have fun wherever life leads you. And a big welcome to Emma, Tracy and James, I look forward to meeting up with you all in the very near future. As I sign off, can I please take this opportunity to personally thank all those societies up and down the country who invite me to their shows, sadly I can’t come to them all, but please continue to invite me, you never know when I might be able to attend. Kind regards to you all - Lesley 57th AGM and Volunteer Training Weekend – New Plymouth - IT’S A WRAP Thank you to all those who attended or were part of the MTNZ Annual Conference in New Plymouth. What a fantastic weekend of fun, frivolity, networking, learning and of course, some serious moments. Congrats to all those societies who were successful in the competitions. Our congratulations to all the Merit Award recipients and Patron’s, Community Tech and Merit Award Recipients this year. Special congratulations to our retiring Zone Two Representative Ngaire Holmes on her Life Membership award. MTNZ sincerely congratulates Jenny (and also congratulates Jenny on her recent Life Membership award for New Plymouth Operatic) and her wonderful team from New Plymouth on a great weekend and all the volunteer hours that go into these events, from pretty much a year out. HUGE hours – so thank you all so much. Special thanks to the front liners who worked with Jenny and I - Dean Clark who managed the trade stands –and the registration desk team led by John and Lorraine Ainsworth were awesome. I would also like to acknowledge the awesome Quality Hotel conference team and reservations staff. NOTHING was a problem – it was an absolute pleasure to deal with Darrin, Jenny and Janine and their respective teams. THANK YOU – such a supportive venue to work with. We would also like to sincerely thank our corporate members who sponsored parts of conference – without them we could not keep the rego fee at the level it is. Please remember to support our corporate members when you are looking at sound, lighting, theatre design etc. It was really good to see so many new faces at conference and great to see so many young people there as well. Our wonderful seminar speakers and forum panellists – AMAZING – thank you – and no one gets paid to do those either, so we are very lucky. The MTNZ conference now has over 260 people attending (when I first started this job 16 years ago, we had 110 – 120) and that is a massive amount of administration and logistical work for the host society and the MTNZ resource, which is still the same as it was back then – although now, MTNZ have BOUNCE NZ and Light Site lending a much needed hand since Timaru in 2008. So as we are in the grand scheme of conferences, a very large group, it is often hard to find one venue for our requirements – so sometimes the transport logistics can be challenging for the host society as well. New Plymouth did an OUTSTANDING job of the transport and huge thanks to David and Sue Thorp and their team of volunteer drivers for running everyone about. Feedback is always very welcome and very important– whilst we have rules that require an AGM etc. the weekend is about the membership, so if you want to send some thoughts or ideas especially seminar and forum ones or perhaps you would like to present a seminar or be on a forum panel, just send me an 4 email or email your zone rep. The Exec are meeting in June, where we will discuss any feedback and the planning for Nelson will be sorted. The dates for Nelson are 16 – 18 March. But we do hope to see many of you before then Start your fundraising now and it would be fantastic to see “EVERY SOCIETY IN THE MTNZ MEMBERSHIP” represented. Let that be the challenge ☺ Spread the word. At the front of Spotlight was our calendar – it would be great to see you along to zone meetings. As you can appreciate, it is so hard during AGM weekend for the Exec and I, to talk to people etc. because we are all running about like mad things,

    April/May 2019 Thinking of all our New Zealand communities this month and in Australia, of which our community theatres both here and across the Tasman, are such a huge part of, as we remember our ANZACS who served in World War One and those who have served in further conflicts since the “great war” – we will remember them. 1 President’s Opening Address – 59h National Volunteer Training/Conference – 2019 Ladies and Gentlemen, Thespians and Committee members, Crew and Musicians, Life Members, and Sponsors - welcome to the 59th Annual General Meeting and Training Weekend here in the Big Smoke of Auckland, hosted by the wonderful team from Auckland Music Theatre. For those of you who don't know me, my name is Daniel Pepperell and I am the President of Musical Theatre NZ, a Steamers (and Chiefs) fan, and I hail from the mighty city of Tauranga. As I reflect over my first year as President, I can tell you it was incredibly busy, and absolutely rewarding. MTNZ have made great inroads with Creative NZ, already gaining funding for a plan around financial sustainability, and also received funding from them for the ever-expanding Next Gen Boot Camp. Kate and I also represented Musical Theatre in NZ at the Beehive for the opening of NZ Theatre Month. And even still with these extra engagements and an extra board member, our lovely Past President Lesley, we were able to keep Executive costs to the same level as previous years, congratulations must go to our forever fiscally minded General Manager, Kate. This year also feels like a changing of the guard for our organisation.
