Committee

Rene joined SVFC for the 1986 Panto Dick Whittington and appeared on stage in many principle roles for every production until 2009.

She has been the Wardrobe Coordinator for the annual pantomime since 1991. She was also the principle organiser of the annual festival between 1991 and 2009.

Rene became Chair in 1993, a position she held for 9 years, before becoming our President in 2011, a role she is very proud of, and hopes to continue to work for the success of the organisation for many years to come.

Erica is our current chair, having accepted the position at the 2020 AGM, after previously serving as vice chair.
She became part of SVFC in 1994 when her daughters joined the chorus, and helped with makeup before becoming supervisor in 2000 until 2019. Now, costumes photography and make up are some of the areas she contributes to.

Rachel has been our vice chair since 2020, after re- joining the pantomime in 2018. 

Rachel’s first pantomime was in 2003 when she was a teenage. She did 4 pantomimes with the society, before taking a break. 

Rachel came back with her then 8 year old son in 2018, first helping in the make up room and dressing the dame into her many changes. In 2019, Rachel decided to get back on stage alongside her son whilst keeping up her roles as Make Up Supervisor & Child Protection Officer and has loved every minute of it. 

Rachel loves being part of the SVFC team she says "We are just one big wild family. I’m extremely proud of what we achieve each year, as a small society to not only put on our pantos, we also have so much fun running the village festival. We love being part of the Shavington community’

Rachel’s proudest moment since coming back is her son's first main role as ‘grouchy’ one of the dwarves in the 2020 pantomime Snow White. 

Angie is our Secretary and Pantomime Choreographer. She joined SVFC in 1997 for the show "Beauty & The Beast", then became a member of the Committee. Angie was Treasurer in 1999, then Chairperson from 2003 - 2009 had a brief break and then resumed the seat again in 2012 to 2017.

Angie assisted with choreography on some of our earlier pantomimes and more recently has choreographed our pantomimes.

Carole is our Treasurer and runs an efficient operation!

She first started helping with the make-up for the Panto in 2004, after her daughter Beth joined the children's chorus.  She took over the role of Treasurer in 2008, where she enjoys the funds coming in but not going out!

​Julie took part in the first village festival in 1977 as part of the Shavington dance troupe when we celebrated the Queens Silver Jubilee, she then went on to appear in our first ever pantomime “Babes in the Wood” back in 1978, continuing to tread the boards with us up until 1999, and being a part of the committee. Julie returned to the village in 2016 and since then has been an active member of the group.

Christine is our Pantomime Co-ordinator and has been here from the start, having performed in our very first Panto in 1978! 

From the age of 17 Christine has taken up various duties on the Committee but none more demanding than being the Co-ordinator!

Barbara has been with us over 30 years and is a key figure in the Costume Dept! She did a great job directing our 2016 Pantomime - 'Jack and the Beanstalk'!

Her first Principle role was in Jack and the Beanstalk in 1985, before joining the Committee in 1986 as Secretary. Since then she has been Treasurer, Panto Co-ordinator and also our FOH Manager for a few years.

Barbara performed in many principle roles before moving onto directing.

​Lesley first joined the organisation in 2004 for Cinderella. She has been a NODA member for over 20 years having been involved with CAMS previously.

Retirement bought Lesley to Shavington after living in Stockport all her life. She was determined to get involved in village life, to meet new people and to make new friends. Through joining the chorus for Robinson Crusoe in 2022, she achieved all of these goals. Lesley is now a member of the committee, something she thoroughly enjoys being part of!
