A total of 18 members and family members were recently involved in collections at the Eden Court Theatre.
At the end of each pantomomime performance these characters were stationed in the foyer to collect donations to two local children's charities.

The Crocus Group supporting children who have lost parents.
The Children's Hospice.

The money raised from 12 collections totalled over £3700 which will be presented to the charities as soon as possible.

Special mention must be given to Roger Hoskins for his organisation and also to Norman Mackenzie who was the only member with a slim enough waist to wear the Rupert Bear costume!
