A CELEBRATION of an amateur dramatics company’s platinum jubilee will be held later this month.

EBOS – the East Berkshire Operatic Society – was founded in 1952, and has been making music ever since.

Its most recent show was The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, performed earlier this month.

To mark the milestone, its members will be gathering at its Pinewood Theatre base in Wokingham Without on Sunday, August 28.

As well as party food and drink, members will perform some celebratory scenes.

The event runs from 2pm, and places cost £7.50, £4 for under 16s, and under twos get in free. Family tickets are also available.
