Adventure In Pantoland
"Community spirit and good will abound with this society and their affection and regard for one another never fails to transfer to the stage."
Jackie Davies, South Wales Argus
Despite the snow's best efforts, broken, sprained or badly bruised limbs, the show did go on! But as our Chairperson pointed out at her end of show speech, it didn't matter what obstacle was in our way, we pulled together as a society and overcame whatever fate had in store and put on a great show, making the above quote from the Argus all the more poignant.
First time co-directors Sian Williams and Katie Middleton, under the watchful eyes of mentors Andrew Griffiths and Jan Parfitt, did a good job of bringing a talented cast and chorus together in an assortment of family favourite pantomimes, creating another hit show for Christchurch.
A decision made by the committee prior to the show and in light of the Haiti earthquake was that all proceeds of the raffle and buckets at the doors at the end of the show would go to the Haiti Disaster Relief Fund. We aimed to make £500 to donate by the end of the week and after a final count up of the money the end total raised was over £800. Well done everybody.
