    I recently attended a theatre show of The Pirates of Penzance at The Oval, and it was an absolute joy...the staff were friendly, the performance was superb and the cocktails from the bar were lovely. It's remarkable how the bandstand has been transformed in recent years. Congratulations to the community group for their hard work and dedication. A perfect 10 out of 10 from me!
