MEET OUR COMMITTEE
CHAIR
Margo Campbell
Margo welcomes the opportunity to give something back to a club which has given her so much enjoyment over the years. She, too, was introduced to drama via Young Farmers, although her first love has always been music, both performing in and directing variety concerts, choirs and ensemble groups.
She has also performed in several FADS productions and hopes to be able to continue to do so in the future. Working together with the Committee and fellow club members, she looks forward to contributing to the continued success of FADS.
SECRETARY
Siobhan Hewitt
Siobhan has been a member of FADS since 2007. Her first role was in the prize-winning one-act play Dogsbreath Devereux the Dastardly Doctor, and her favourite performance was in the hilariously funny Lend me a Tenor.
Over the year Siobhan has taken on many roles in the club, from prompt to wicked witch. She is looking forward to being part of the committee and helping the club to entertain audiences for years to come.
TREASURER
Sarah Walker
Acting and admin are two of Sarah’s favourite things, so, having previously served as Secretary, she’s happy to now have taken on the role of Treasurer for the Club. She also maintains the Club website.
Since joining FADS in 2016, Sarah has appeared in various productions - including our 2025 National Drama Festival entry, 'Something In The Basement' - painted sets, co-written, directed & produced a panto, and travelled to Orkney as part of a FADS delegation.
MEMBER
Jackie Smith
Having met while performing with Arbroath Abbey theatre, Jackie and her husband David moved to Fintry in 1989 and have been active members of FADS - both on and off stage - since they arrived in the village.
Jackie has enjoyed playing many roles over the years and been awarded her fair share of Best Actress trophies! A retired primary teacher, Jackie enjoys working with young folk and has directed numerous youth productions with David.
MEMBER
Lorna Flisch
Lorna has been involved in virtually every area of FADS over many years - from acting and directing to prompting and front of house - but she’s probably best known for her wonderful set design, prop creation and artistic skills.
Together with Tony, Lorna has travelled around the UK supporting FADS’ competitive drama productions, and her dedication to keeping the ‘back of house’ organised is second to none. If you want to know where anything is, ask Lorna!
MEMBER
Louise Macmillan
For the past few years, Louise's daughters Hannah and Lucy have been fabulous on stage in our pantos, and she finally joined them up there for Cinderella....as our newest Stage Manager!
Her positive and unflappable nature, enviable co-ordination skills and ability to herd cats make her a truly valuable member of both the Committee and any production. And her secret weapon for keeping things on track? Baking. Lots of it. 💖
MEMBER
Chris Day
Chris is our tech guy, heading up lighting and sound for our productions, and acting as chief consultant on investment in new equipment.
After a mid-stage youth collision with a colleague, then later having a facial by pyros working as a stage hand, it's safest for Chris to be very much in front of the curtains!
Aside from that, Chris has a wealth of voluntary experience being a flying instructor for 19 years, training the next generation of future aviators.
Also he is a total geek!
MEMBER
Gerry Eckersley
Gerry has acted, sung and danced her way through numerous FADS productions since the mid-‘90s, many of which have featured her four children: Jonathan, Anthony, Rosie and Owen.
Musicals are her passion and she has also taken part in the SCDA festival several times, including trips to the Scottish finals with ‘The Doctor in Spite of Himself’ and ‘Oh What a Lovely War’.
Always keen to make sure we have fun in FADS, Gerry loves trying new things and welcomes any dramatic challenge!
