A year ago the club were just about to perform a run of Hairspray in Lanark Memorial Hall, when lockdown was announced on the evening of the dress rehearsal and the show was cancelled.

The autumn show was also cancelled and now it’s uncertain as to when the club will be able to perform again.

The club is determined to keep spirits high for members, and have been busy over the last 12 months creating a variety of group and solo musical videos on the LAMS Facebook page.

The members also kept in touch and kept their brains working with regular themed quiz nights, sporting many fantastic costumes.

At Christmas, the club ran a fundraising Secret Santa for members, which in turn raised £140 for Alzheimer Scotland which had been Hairspray’s charity partner.

Many club members took part in a local #BakeOff Fundraiser which raised £400 for The Brain Tumour Charity, and participated in a virtual Murder Mystery evening which will raise £80 for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Now, the club are looking to raise vital funds for the ongoing running of the organisation with a Virtual Ladies Day on Saturday, March 13, from 1-3.30pm.

Demonstrations include gin cocktail making with Lanark Distillery, ‘at home’ mini facial with The Body Shop, style tips from Mhairi at Styled by Susie, chair yoga and relaxation with Buddha Bairns, ‘at home’ mini mani with Justine and a ‘Tropic Skin’ fabulous feet demo with Megan.
