In 2008 Thurrock Operatic Society (TOPS) was highly delighted to receive from NODA East, this Region of the National Operatic and Dramatic Associaton, its award for the best standard Programme in relation to productions staged in 2007. The Graphic Designer of the Programme for TOPS production of "My Fair Lady", as with its other productions over the last few years, is Adrian Baker.
At its 2008 National Conference in September, held at Peebles in Scotland, NODA awarded TOPS the RTH Perkins Trophy for Best Standard Programme throughout the UK. Bearing in mind that over 2,500 amateur societies belong to the national organisation, TOPS are very proud of the achievement and wish Adrian continuing success in his future work for them.
The photo below shows the late Jose Webb, former Chairman of TOPS receiving the trophy from Eric Smart, Chairman of NODA.
