The Glammies

Details on what the Glammies is all about are on our Glammies page, or you could go straight to the information for the current year.

Our very special annual celebration and awards ceremony - The Glammies - will be held at the Electricity Club in Pontcanna in Cardiff on May 17th at 7.30pm. Full details about tickets etc via the Glammies page.

The League covers the geographical area formerly defined by the old county of Glamorgan (which means Swansea and the Gower in the west, Cardiff to the east, and as far north as Merthyr).

We currently have 14 fully-paid up member groups, including 3 youth groups, and several individual members, but are always keen to welcome more.  Take a look at our list of current members, and what the GDL and its members are up to by checking out the News page.

You can also use the links to find out more about us and about our history.   

We have two major areas of on-going activity:
  • The Glammies  - an annual evening of review and celebration of the best of the year's work
  • One-Act Festival  - how we find our representative for the national One-Act competition.

We would be delighted to hear from you - perhaps you'd like to perform at one of our festivals, or you've an idea for a training weekend - do use our Contact page for the details on how to reach us.
