We hope you will continue to support us and we may see some of you in 2018.”
Dream-A-Way chair Jeff, who played the Dame – school mistress Ology – in this year’s panto said: “After nearly 7 years absence, I was delighted to return to the Police and Hospital Players as the Dame. It was a brilliant show with a terrific cast, band and backstage crew. The performances were made even more enjoyable by the wonderful audiences who cheered, hissed and booed in all the right places!
This is a tremendous amount of money and every penny will be used to put smiles on even more local faces. Huge thanks to everyone who helped in any way.”
