WNTV is currently in the process of producing a tourism film which will be available to view on the tourism pages of Wyenot.com. As the weather was so nice on Saturday we decided to go to Symonds Yat to take some more footage.

After a great lunch at Rose Cottage, we met up with James of Wyedean Canoe and Adventure Centre, who told us how their season was going so far. Whilst we were there we took a river trip on one of the Kingfisher Cruisers, taking in the beautiful scenery while Tony Gardiner gave a fascinating commentary on local history. You can see some of the footage we took in this week's WNTV News programme.

Friday was a night to remember for those who were lucky enough to witness the second ROscar awards. The ROscars were inaugurated last year as a joint event between Ross Rotary Club and The Phoenix Theatre and are awarded to A Level drama students from John Kyrle High School.

Unfortunately, due to licensing restrictions for school productions, only pupils, staff and family members are allowed in as audience for the performances. With six performances by six very talented groups, the task of judging was an extremely difficult one. Eventually the decisions were made and the awards were as follows.

The Ross Rotary trophy was awarded to the group that adapted 4:48am Psychosis by Sarah Kane. 4:48am Psychosis is a terrifically demanding play for a professional actors and this adaptation was indeed worthy of the professional stage. The group consisted of Rachael Mace, Ally Mason, Harvey Powell, Katy Smith and Henry Thorne.

The next awards were the individual trophies given by The Phoenix Theatre. The award for best actor went to Alex Naylor for his rendition of the unhinged professor in Eugene Ionesco's play The Lesson. Best actress was awarded to Katy Trevethan for her performance of Helena in the A2 version of A Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare. Harvey Powell deservedly took the prize for best technician. Not only did Harvey justify the award this year but I think John Kyrle High School, The Phoenix and all the other theatres and stages around the county owe Harvey a big thank you for all the time he has given over the last few years. Best of luck in at The Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts.
