Friends of the Bentley

The Bentley was founded in 1913 and has been delighting audiences with the works of Gilbert & Sullivan ever since. We are currently the only G & S society in Liverpool. In addition to staging our annual production, we also give about six concerts each year for church and community groups.

We do hope you have enjoyed this evening’s productions of Trial By Jury and The Pirates of Penzance.  We could not perform our shows without the support of you – the audience, our Patrons and Friends of the Society.

May we invite you to become a Friend of the Bentley?  For £30.00 per year, you would be giving valuable support to the Society and thus helping to keep G & S alive.  

In return for your support, you are
• entitled to apply for two free tickets to see this season’s show
• able to receive two newsletters each year
• welcome to attend rehearsals and concerts
• acknowledged on our website.

Enrolling now would apply to the 2008-2009 season and our production next year of Patience.

Thank you again for your support.
