Our President from 1994 to 2006, David Scotland has been loyal and generous in his support for Wedmore Opera.

David became President in 1994 when we were planning our first tent opera Carmen. Even after he moved from Wedmore to Pilton he maintained his links with us. Apart from financial help when most needed, he and his wife Annie and son Edward frequently brought their artistic skill and enviably spontaneous style and humour to the hosting of our fund-raisers and concerts.

Like Rose Bugden (our very first President) before him, David helped us to broaden our horizons and improve our standards. Now that he has moved further away to Bath he kindly handed over to Mark Hamlin, our current President.

We thank he and his wife Annie for their great support for the past 10 years.
