 The towers were built in January 2023, to be first used in The Addams Family. They were designed by Jonathan Ferguson and built by him and a team of dedicated crew over the period of two full days and one evening. The total cost was significant (>£300), which was paid for by StageSoc as the towers will be an asset used for many shows to come (hopefully!). The towers were built in January 2023, to be first used in The Addams Family.

 +=== The Wickes Trip ===
 +
 +Jonathan's estate car was not large enough to fit the large pieces of uncut ply. To get them from Wickes to the Annex, he took 4 unwitting volunteers (Cerys, Ellie, Simon and Sy) and the wheely board in his car to Wickes, tied the ply vertically to the wheely board, and left them to make their way back by foot. This was unadvisable and should not be repeated. The aforementioned volunteers should be commended for their tireless work to bring the 3 pieces of plywood back to the Annex.
