‘Health at The Hub’ coming for you
The MADS family continued to expand and by having extra people in the team meant that we no longer had to double up with doing stage and backstage duties. MADS have grown into the successful and popular group we are now. We are a not-for-profit society, so proceeds from ticket sales are used for buying and improving either technical equipment such as lighting, speakers and radio mics or costumes which all to enhance the enjoyment of our shows for all who come.
As the shows get bigger our team also grows and we a lucky enough to have some very talented members. Our youngest MADS member is just 8 years old and our oldest is 79. New members are always welcome irrespective of their knowledge or experience. Technical skills can be easily learned so reliable, friendly people who like to occasionally do silly things and generally love to have fun are always welcome.

It is with great excitement that this year we will be seeing our first MADS wedding as 2 of our members who met during one of our former panto rehearsals are taking the plunge and getting married in July.
Over the last 10 years we have performed 8 pantomimes, 3 interactive murder mystery evenings, 2 comedy plays, a fundraising variety show and (in December 2021) a Christmas cabaret. Now things are starting to get back to some normality, we are all very excited to announce that for Christmas 2022 we will be back on stage at Meldreth Village Hall. Performing our 2022 Christmas Pantomime ‘Dick Whittington’. We hope that you will come along and help us celebrate our 10th Birthday.
For more information about what we do and the shows we have performed in the past can be found on our website at www.melbournamdram.co.uk. You can also keep up to date with our next events and shows either on the website or find us via our Facebook page at Melbourn Am dram. We look forward to welcoming back all our old friends and offer a huge welcome to all those joining us for the first time! Donna Sleight (MADS Founder and Producer)
Come and meet some of the team of GP’s, Health Coaches, Social Prescribers and specialists on Saturday 25th June at Melbourn Hub between 10am and 2pm.
Melbourn Hub is delighted to announce “Health at The Hub” in partnership with Meridian Primary Care Network. The initiative offers a new range of health based services from within The Hub. The idea behind the service is to bring some of the health support out of the GP surgeries and back into the community.
Take the opportunity to come along to the free launch event on 25th June at Melbourn Hub. On the day, you will be able to meet practitioners and specialists who are working in the community, receive free health checks, plus advice around leading a healthy lifestyle and support with managing your health. More importantly, the day will give you an opportunity to see which services and support are on offer from the Hub in the future.
The Hub has been working closely with the Meridian GP practices (Melbourn, Harston, Bourne, Comberton, Roysia and the Royston Health Centre) to bring some of those valuable health service appointments to us all, in our own community facility.
The broad range of services planned to be regularly on offer at The Hub include: health checks, mental health support, social prescribing and support from care
