Next Monthly Meeting – 2.00pm on Tuesday 10th March 2026 Refreshments: Singing Group (for support with washing-up please) Mike Newbold - ‘My Extra Life’ After working in the commercial sector, Mike Newbold took an acting course and became a television extra. He first started with amateur dramatics over 25 years ago with Carlton Operatic Society and Nottingham Operatic Society, performing at both the Nottingham Playhouse and the Theatre Royal. Mike has been a television extra for 20 years. “Whether it’s a television studio or film location, ‘on set’ is an exciting place to be. Being a supporting artist is an interesting life with no two days being the same. They can be long days with lots of waiting around, sometimes in tough conditions on location. It provides a modest income, some great adventures and some wonderful stories.”
