Putney Vale - Clubs, Groups and Societies in the Area

Southfields Theatre Group (STG) was formed in 2008 by like-minded Southfields SW19 residents who felt there was an amateur dramatics gap to fill in the village.

The group has now expanded to twenty-five active members. Some are budding actors, some are evergreen thespians. Others play vital production and organisational roles, providing sets and lights, technical, visual and written creativity, costumes and props, as well as pulling in good audiences and balancing the books.

Reflecting the local community's interests, STG's repertoire combines carefully chosen plays with sharp revues and riotous pantos. We also hold drama workshops, classes in acting techniques, play-readings and theatre excursions.

Venues include The Earl Spencer on Merton Road, St Barnabas Church, and St Michael's School. Most rehearsals are at the Aspire Centre, Southfields Community College.
STG productions
2009 ‘Forty’, ‘Cinderella’
2010 ‘Murder in Company’, ‘1001 Arabian Nights’, ‘Hang out the Flags’ – a revue
2011 ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarves’, ‘RolePlay’, a Wandsworth Revue

Fun, coached group running sessions for all levels in Wimbledon Park.
We attract runners and non-runners alike from the Earlsfield/Southfield/SW19 area for fun sessions in the park every week.

The Wimbledon Book club meets in central Wimbledon, Merton South West London SW19, on the first and third Mondays of the month.

The Wimbledon Book club usually read contemporary fiction paperbacks but being an adventurous bunch we sometimes move out of our comfort zone to read something different. This may include Romantic Fiction, Science Fiction, Literary Classics, Graphic Novels, Family Sagas, Pulp Fiction, Crime Fiction, Current Affairs or anything else that helps us become 'Well Read'.

Unlike some book clubs we don't have our books chosen by a marketing department, TV Chat Show or a Book Shop. Our book choice's are always about having a good read and a good nights discussion, not sales.

Popchoir is for anyone and everyone who wants to sing but has never found anywhere to do it before! So whether you’re a closet singer or first up at karaoke, a slightly apprehensive beginner or the next Beyonce/Robbie , a worn out mum or an overstressed commuter, Popchoir is waiting for you.
When you join Popchoir you’ll have the opportunity to sing some great songs with a bunch of other people, to polish them up, perform them in public for fun and for entertainment, to find and improve your voice, to spend an hour and a half every week getting that feelgood factor and to make some new friends in the process.
Sounds good? It is! It’s a lot of fun and we’d love you to join us. Come along and try the first rehearsal and see how you like it!
