Ratae Co-operative Players
The 50s

Here are pictures from the early days of Ratae. Founded in 1949, the first production took place early in 1950. Unfortunately we do not (as yet) have any pictures from that first production, although we do have a copy of the program.

Isn’t it amazing to think that digital cameras were working even back in those times?  Many thanks to ‘YAP’ (young Arthur Potterton as he was in those days) for these snaps.
