Meet the team
As a new club we are starting out small but our ambitions are big! Below is a brief word from each of our members of the team.
“Acting has always been a part of my life and started all the way back when I was in primary school! I still remember being the Grewsome Giant out of jack and the beanstalk and flicking bogies into the audience and that’s when my passion was born. In secondary Secondary school was when I got a taste for directing too and In my adult years I have performed in many productions both modern and shakesperian. Now I want to ignite the passion for the stage in others!”
Tom Kenward.
“I have always loved the stage and working with children and am keen to help bring out the best in everybody!”
Steph
“Working with children Inside, Outside and on stage. Let’s go crazy, have fun and learn a bit in the process!”

The Money side of things…
When it comes to the money side of things, we have tried to make it as simple as possible so this is how we’ll break it all down. Each individual session will cost £8.50 and we will collect payment in bi-monthly blocks in the form of an invoice. The invoices sent out will cover the next two months of sessions. The amount payable every other month may vary as it will be based on the number of sessions coming up. This could be from 6-8 sessions in said time frame. If you start half way through a payment period, you will be asked to pay for the rest of those session up until the next pay period starts and then you will be invoiced as mentioned above. You will not be charged for your very first session with MAD Club as this is your taster session!
If you find that MAD Club is no longer for you down the line then we do ask to be notified a pay period in advance so that we have enough time to fill the soon to be vacant spot.
We also do a 20% sibling discount to help with the cost of things if you have more than one child that would like to come to MAD Club. You will only be invoiced once to keep things simple.
Workshops will be a one off payment to cover all days and up to two adults to come and watch what the children have been getting up to on the last day. This also includes drink refills and snacks throughout the day. Early drop offs and late pick ups are available on request at a small additional cost.

Not necessarily…
If there is enough interest for any particular day then we will start up the club on that day. This means that some days could have 5 children in and others have 25.
As we are a new club and do not know how popular it will be, we will start off small making sure that MAD CLUB is available for whoever would like to get involved.
If you have expressed an interest in the club but there is not enough interest for the day you can make it, we will keep you updated and let you know of any changes to that day.
There may come a time that we even decide to split groups into slightly narrower age groups such as 5-8 and 9-13 and run two sessions a day one after another but again, all information will be sent out before this happens and what it will mean to you and your child/children.
-
After a while we would hope that you see a difference in your child in every day life as so many life skills are developed and allowed to grow in such a positive and fun environment.
We hope that, in the future, we work towards our very own productions and performances that we can put on for friends and family members. All this will be communicated well in advance and clearly state what it means for you and your child/children.

At the moment sessions are held at:
Ash Village hall (Between the school and the pub!) on Wednesdays at 3.30pm until 4.30pm.
This 1 hour session gives you the time to then pop into Martock for a coffee in a local café, head into Yeovil to get your weekly shop done or even pop into the pub for a sneaky pint and a catch up with friends… What you do with your spare time is up to you but please be sure to be back at the hall for 4.30pm when we will release the children back to you.
Please get in contact for any more information about timings.

Dropping off your children is as easy as sending them through the inner door to the hall when we open up the doors at 3.30pm. We will take a register of the class and then, at pick up time, we will mark off our children once they are released back to you.
