PANTO time: By the time this goes to press, we will be about as ready as we’re going to get, so come on down for a bit of crossdressing, double-entendres, appalling jokes, suggestive singing – in other words, some good, old-fashioned British seasonal family entertainment.

There are only a very few tickets left, so call Angie for details on 473848.

The evening performances take place tomorrow and Saturday, plus a matinee on the Saturday, at Cliddesden Village Hall.

Tickets are priced at £8.50 for adults, £1 for under-16s.

CHURCH activities: It’s a jolly busy time of year for the church. This Sunday, there’s a family service at St Leonard’s at 11.15am.

Please also put a note in your diaries for the nine lessons and carols at St Leonard’s on Friday, December 20, at 7.30pm, and the Messy Church on Sunday, December 22, at Cliddesden Village Hall, from 4.30pm to 6pm.
