More than 20 posters for the Broadclyst Theatre Groups production of Calendar Girls in aid of the Force Cancer Charity have been torn down by vandals after being up just a few days. The plays director Karl Straw and his wife Liz spend a day putting up posters for the charity production and within a week all but one had been torrn down or defaced by vandals. The posters which had been donated by a local business man featured the cast in dressing gowns promoting the show. The theatre group hope to raise more than £3000 for the charity and are being sponsored by various local businesses including the National Trust Killerton House who have donated to cover the costs of costumes and three local WI's who are providing refreshments.
"Its disappointing that a few unruly people think its OK to rip up posters for such a good cause" said Karl Straw. New posters have been ordered and will be put up again to defy the vandals.
