TOMORROW IS DEADLINE DAY FOR NEWSLETTER CONTENT We have decided here at the Greyfriars office that going forward, if you would like to advertise in our monthly Newsletter that you will have to follow the following process. You will need to have sent your request via email to office@greyfriarsringwood.org.uk by and no later than the second Monday of the month, and slots will be filled on a first come, first served basis. For example, the closing date to advertise in our August Newsletter will be Monday 14th July. We hope that everyone understands that this is to ensure everybody has a fair chance to be featured and so we have plenty of time to edit and proof read before we go to print.

It’s that time of year again — the RMDS Summer Show 2025 is just around the corner, and we’d love to see you there! This year’s production, “WWW.summer-show.rmds”, brings you three short shows themed around Whisky, Walls and Wicked — so you can expect an evening that’s full of witty stories to entertain and surprise. As always, we’ll be transforming three of the Greyfriars Halls into pop-up mini-theatres, complete with tiered seating, sound, and lighting — ready to entertain the good people of Ringwood and beyond. When? 🗓️ 22nd – 26th July 2025 📍 Greyfriars Community Centre This year’s productions have been directed by the experienced Richard Bennett, alongside debut directorships from Mike Leggett and David Kehoe — bringing a fresh new energy to the RMDS stage. During the evening, your audience group will rotate between the three shows — with complimentary nibbles and a cash bar available during the intervals. It really doesn’t matter which colour ticket you buy — you’ll see all three shows and have a brilliant time. We simply recommend selecting the colour group with the most availability on the evening of your choice. 🎟️ Tickets selling fast so Book your tickets now by visiting: ticketsource.co.uk/rmds or in person at Greyfriars. And as always — NO booking fees! We can’t wait to welcome you for another unforgettable RMDS Summer Show.
