This small group of community theatre enthusiasts have joined together over the past few months to start, develop and establish a local drama group for adults. Based at Whitwell Station near Reepham, they are hoping to attract members and audiences from surrounding towns and villages.
 
The first production will be an evening of sketches, songs and poetry, all linked to the romance and history of the railway, and called Brief Encounters. The group are hoping that the local community will support them, get involved and become members, be it on or behind the stage.
 
Whitwell Station is a fantastic venue for theatre, the buildings, the platform and the ambience of the place cannot help but inspire future productions. But the journey starts in June with the first performance.
 
Whitwell Station Players is a non-profit organisation providing an outlet for adults keen to get involved in drama; the group meets at Whitwell Station every Wednesday at 7 pm.
 
Tickets (£4 each) for Brief Encounters on 18 June are available from Whitwell Station, Whitwell Road, Reepham, or Rushlight Gallery, Market Place, Reepham.
