ON
SUNDAY 15
January 2012 we had a good ow dew as we staged our annual
Panto – Cinderella and the Glass Wellie –
together with the presentation of prizes for the Trosher
Short Story Competition in the Village Hall at North Elmham.
All seats were taken, including some we hetta borrow from
the Church!
To
get the afternoon off to a good start the first, second and
third, prize-winning stories from this year’s Trosher
competition were read, and I was honoured to have been asked
to read out a couple. This
year was the best yet with thirty entries, and all of a very
high standard. Well done to all who entered and keep ya pens
rolling for the Trosher short story competition 2012!
During
the interval, teas were served by Rosemary and Janet, and
washed up by Brian and Co, and then we had Jean’s raffle
which, once again, had some super prizes.
TIME
TER TREAD THE BOARDS!

After
the audience were once again seated, we were given our Panto
scripts as we were about to tread the boards to Colin Burleigh’s
version of Cinderella and the Glass Wellie.
This
year, I was offered the job a Cinderella and I hetta impress
the judges on ‘strictly come dancun’ arter being
turned into a Bewty by my Fairy godmother an fallun for my
Prince Charmun arter turnun Buttons down.
This
was a hilarious piece a work and I’m sure the late Tony
Clarke, who started the Pantos, would a been proud on us.
Many
thanks to Alan Smith who, once again, brought in his dressun-up
box a clothes so we looked a decent bunch and I hetta git
ma own dress ’cos, from past experience, them there pretty
ones won’t go round me! This all made the day even more
fun, but we couldn’t a done it without the great audience
– thanks to orl on ya.
THAT
WUZ A GOOD OW WRITE UP
This,
of course, was highlighted when, on the Monday, we opened
our Eastern Daily Press we saw super coverage of The
Panto and again in The Dereham Times where we made
front page! Both newspapers did us proud and I am sure that
all at FOND would like to thank Adam Lazzari and all at Archant
for giving us such great coverage.
(The
boy Dervud he say “Thut wuz a lovely ow job done by
orl.”)
