Last month, on Friday 13th September, we were delighted to celebrate Blackburn Drama Club’s 75th Birthday at Foxfields Country Hotel in Billington. We were delighted to be joined by members and friends, both past and present. It was a great opportunity to celebrate the club’s achievements and for friends to get together to reminisce. On the evening Eric Nolan and Andrew Smith were presented with their NODA Gold Awards for 50 Years Service to Blackburn Drama Club.
