BRENDA HINDLE Brenda joined Ulverston in 1975 after being approached by a member of the Society to come along to help them raise some much needed funds. Finances were in a very poor state but as enthusiastic as always she vowed that the committee formed to raise funds, would raise the princely sum of £1,000 in the first six months. They did, and Ulverston Opera has never looked back. During her time with the society her enthusiasm and love for Ulverston Amateur Operatic Society has never waned. She has been a member of the committee for all those years except for one and has served as secretary for several years now, and had two spells as treasurer, and is currently treasurer. Having no desire ever to be on stage she has been invaluable both backstage and in the dressing rooms and has done make up, call, prompt, and tea girl. She has also organised, and at times made, costumes, compiled the programme, designed and build sets and dressed them, sorted and gathered props and even helped with the choreography. She is also ticket secretary and takes care of the stock control of ice cream which we sell all year round when stewarding at the Coronation Hall. We are very fortunate as this venture brings us in a steady income. She has directed eleven of our shows, the last one being Whistle Down the Wind and gets great satisfaction from working with the children in the society. She was also very much the driving force behind the society joining ACT. As we say no one is indispensable but Brenda could be the exception to the rule
