It was not only the 29 dolls available for auction at the
Brussels United Church tea party that were dressed to the
nines, but the hosts and several guests as well. While
guests enjoyed tea and refreshments, they had the oppor-
tunity to bid on the wide variety of dolls dressed in tradi-
tional costumes, hand-knitted garments or just silly attire.

The Blyth Festival has just com-
pleted phase one of its educational
'First Draft' Programme.
Artistic Director Eric Coates said
"We always talk about how much
work goes into a rehearsal. Well, this
project stresses the work that hap-
pens prior to the actors even picking
up the script. It's wonderful to see
the students' eyes opening to new
ideas."
Students from Clinton, Goderich,
Wingham, Listowel and Stratford
were invited to take part in these
workshops which focused on the
relationship between design ele-
ments on stage and the script.
The workshops gave students the
opportunity to work with a profes-
sional designer and director on a
At The Branch
By Jo-Ann McDonald
Another busy week at the Brussels
Legion goes by as we edge closer to
Christmas.
The judging of the posters, essays
and poems was completed by the
judges. The winners' work has been
sent on to the Zone level. We appre-
ciate the efforts of all the students
who took the time and interest to
submit entries.
The general meeting was held on
Tuesday evening with 14 comrades
attending. General business was
conducted and the committee
heads gave their reports. Plans
were discussed for New Year's Eve.
Only 120 tickets will be available
and they will be at the Branch Dec.
7.
The Thursday night darters had 10
players taking aim. The winning pair
was Bruce Clark and Ken Miller;
second, John Harrison and Bill
Kammermah. The high dart score
was 137 by John Harrison.
The Friday night supper of roast
pork was enjoyed by a good crowd.
, This week is chicken wings. Keep in
mind the potluck and voluntary gift
exchange on Dec. 20.
The upstairs auditorium was host
to the Holstein Association on
Friday evening for their annual
meeting and dance. They held their
meeting and enjoyed a lovely wine
and cheese social time prior to the
dance.
Saturday was a busy day at the
Branch as the Ladies Auxiliary pre-
pared the dinner for the annual
Knight family Christmas. Over 40
gathered to enjoy a family time,
meal and a visit from Santa.
Some members of the Branch
were busy on Saturday getting their
entry for the Santa Claus Parade
ready. Driver Sandra Josling did a
fine (and warm) job driving while
Comrades Rick McDonald and
Norm Dobson kept the flags and
monument in place. The entry also
had the Citizen of the Year, Jo-Ann
McDonald riding along.
It' was a wonderful parade and
congratulations ,to all who braved
the inclement weather, riding or
watching.
It's now December and the price
for members who still need to pay
their dues is $45. The last early bird
winner for their 2004 dues was
Lloyd Glanville.
Comrade Lillian Moses was in
new production for the Blyth
Festival. After an initial reading
of the script, students worked
with playwright Anne Chislett and
composer David Archibald, the cre-
ators of, The Perilous Pirate's
Daughter.
Coates, and Victoria Wallace,
long-time set and costume designer
for the theatre, were also a key part
of the pedagogical team.
After five sessions the students
were speaking in the language of
design, discussing scale, sight lines,
scene transitions and multiple prop
usage. In the final session, students
presented their design concepts and
the reasons for their choices, as well
as some scale model pieces that they
had created.
