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
