Sir.-We at BATS and the cast and crew of Calamity Jane would like to send a massive thank you to all the audience who attended the run of the show.

The society is proud to support children's charities, and for the duration of the shows run we collected for BBC's Children in Need. You all helped us raise £1,236.

-Basingstoke Amateur Theatrical Society.

Sir.-My friend and I feel compelled to congratulate BATS on their excellent performance of Calamity Jane.

We were enthralled by the enthusiasm and dedication of the whole cast. It was obvious they were enjoying themselves and the audience was quick to appreciate this.

The only thing that upset us was we were unable to stay and watch their final show.

Considering how many times they had sung "I must go back to the Black Hills of Dakota" during the week, it was still a joy to hear.

-M Stanley, Sycamore Way, Basingstoke.
