Pantomime DVD

For all of those who saw this year’s amazing Pantomime, and those who didn’t! The Pantomime DVD will be flying off the presses soon so I need an idea of numbers. It’s only £5, by careful housekeeping and keeping overheads to a minimum we have never put the price up!

It will be available around the end of February so could you let me know if you want one or two or three or fifty J.

It is a limited edition so one day may be very valuable….

Don’t forget all proceeds go to help the upkeep of our lovely Church.

Many thanks

World Famous Poynings Panto


I hope you are all ready for Christmas with all presents wrapped and cards posted!!!

With all the rushing about don’t forget to get your Pantomime Tickets from the Royal Oak or www.poynings.net.

They are selling out fast this year as it is going to be a great performance but we can’t make the Church any bigger. While you are looking for space to put all those presents, we are after some left over paint for the scenery, if you have any you don’t want can you let me know. Thanks.
