Hayling Herald Community update
Panto donations welcomed
By Alan Bartlett
ONCE again the Northney village pantomime,
which this year was Jack and the Beanstalk, was
sold out for both performances.
Written and produced by Northney resident
Fiona Bartlett, it was full of local jokes and the
star part was perhaps the two person dancing
cow. Songs were backed by the Huggers Uke
Band and once again the scene changes were
created by Bob Ede who also created a rapidly
growing beanstalk.
The profit made after all costs paid was £800
and this was split between two local charities,
Hayling Island Community Responders, and the
Bridge Centre Foodbank.
Both groups expressed their gratitude for such
significant donations and praised the enormous
fund raising effort to generate it.
In receiving the £400 cheque Paul Nelhams,
Treasurer of the Responders said, ‘We are incredibly grateful for this generous donation which
will make a huge difference in helping us to support the local community.’
Barry King, treasurer of the Bridge Church
Food Bank, said ‘I’d like to say a huge thanks to
