Last month we had our AGM and welcomed in our new committee members for 2019!

Each year HMDS members are invited to an annual general meeting to vote in a new committee and farewell the outgoing committee. HMDS is so lucky to have such an amazing support network and such an incredible team of people willing to put their hands up to volunteer to be part of the committee each year. 

Each year is different, but the sense of family and community is always at the heart of HMDS. 

Congratulations to all!

​

Congratulations to Maureen Lyons and Helen Ruhle who were both awarded HMDS Life Membership at our AGM in February! Two outstanding women who have contributed greatly to HMDS through the years. 

​

Maureen was one of the founders of HMDS and has been a long standing part of our community.

Helen is our VPA and has long been a part of HMDS, wearing many different hats, primarily that of props master!

Jess Stuart was one of the pioneers of HMDS and over a period of 28 years was a President, VP, Producer, Director, Actress and Mentor. 
Jess sadly passed away on the 21st February 2019. 

We will remember Jess always for her service to our theatre community and for providing us with the opportunity to still create theatre by the community, for the community.

Our thoughts are with Jess' family and friends at this difficult time.
