On
Sunday, 16 January, we hit the floor runnun with the Annual
Pantomime at the North Elmham ‘Palladium’.
The
doors bust open wi the crowds awaitun to see Dick Squittington
and his ow dorg (well, not quite like that but
it was a great day!).
The
weather was very much kinder to us than in previous years
(when it snew an snew!), which made it one of the biggest
turnouts we have had.

So,
orf
wi our civvies an on wi our gear as we treaded the boards
to a script having been a bit updated by Colin Burleigh from
the late Tony Clarke’s original. (Colin reckon he ony
changed two wuds).
You
may not all be aware but we don’t get the scripts till
the day… so that make ut very interestun – n even
sorfta – cos we hetta read ut as we go along.

Once
again, I was a mawther, playun Alice, who nearly married John
the pedlar and, after seeing the future mother-in-law (played
by Heather Parle) I went n married Dick instead!
As
you can imagine, there was a lot a squit, wit n stuff gorn
on everywhere.
I
can’t imagine how, when I was at school, I was a shy
retirun little ow thing – now look what thar done to
me!!!

Dervud say: “Shy n Retirun? What you”?

GREAT

Ian
Clarke did us proud once again with great photos and write-ups
in the Eastern Daily Press and Dereham Times.
Thanks to them.
My
boobs (albeit fake, but no one believed me!) were the talking
point a Norfolk fa the week.
I’m
sure those who attended had a good time and, as our chairman,
Norman Hart, said, “We might hetta book Carra Rood for
the next one!”
Um

as much as the audience and I’d like to thank everyone
