A big thank you to everyone who came to see our rendition of our Aladdin pantomime. I hope you had a good time because I know we did and it showed in the performance of the whole group whether on stage or off. Claire who directed us thisyear and did a fabulous job of getting it all together and producing a memorable show once again. Well done Claire xx

We haven't any plans for this year in Barnby Dun, but once again some of us have gone to Fishlake to join them in a summer variety show, singing dancing and sketches. I will keep you in the picture in this magazine and look out for posters around the village nearer the time of the show.
