In thattime, we have raised £800 for charity and our numbers have gone from strength tostrength. This summer we performed at the Musical Picnic on The Green, Pembury Schooland the Family Fun Day in the Recreation Ground. The routines were varied from diabolothrowing to break dancing, singing and flag throwing. We were also in the Tonbridge carnivalwhere the theme was nursery rhymes. We decided after a discussion with the group that wewould do ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’. We decorated a lorry completely in silver and allthe children wore silver ponchos; it was very hot, and we sang all the way up TonbridgeHigh Street, and we were very pleased to receive second prize in the floats section.Pembury Youth Theatre Academy is for childrenaged 5-14 years. The concept of the academy isto build children’s confidence, learn skills suchas song, dance and drama and maybe make a newfriend along the way. We meet every Mondayevening at Pembury Baptist Church. We alwayshave room for new members so if anyone isinterested in joining us, please call Dee on825144 for more details.Dee Barrington-King17
