But did you know that on their top floor of their Sliema branch they stocked Hornby Train Sets!derrick calverDec 04, 2023

Pirates_at_TH_1974_SCADS_6.jpg
Pirates of Penzance 1974114 viewsProduction by SCADS. Members of the Services Choral & Dramatic Society were mostly school teachers and spouses, servicemen and their wives, and a sprinkling of pupils from Tal-Handaq (especially useful when younger cast members were required). Most productions were put on at Tal-Handaq in the school hall, but occasionally (as in the case of 'La Vie Parisienne' in 1976) the Manoel Theatre was the venue.
