About 10 years ago it looked as if BLTC would, once more, lose its theatre, for the club was annually in the red to the tune of about £4,000 - sometimes playing to a capacity of only 30%. But the club decided to fight back by active marketing, the build of an accurate database of patrons and regular mail shots. A raked auditorium (with tip-up seats) was built in 2000 and a newsletter developed which was sent (bi monthly) to both members and non-members.

Recently the Club has become a member of the Little Theatre Guild of Great Britain.

It is a regular winner of Curtain Call awards - the local 'Oscars' awarded annually by the Daily Echo.
