Stony Stratford Theatre Society's 2019
Panto - Robin in StonyLand
Yet again our little town panto rocked. York House was
full, both the bar and Stony Sweet Shop's yummy stall
pretty much sold out. Everyone involved had a fine
time. The cast were aged 8ish to 80ish, we had original
music from Neil Mercer, fabulous words from Shelia
White, the talented cast had the audience rolling with
laughter, booing like good 'uns and singing along
with great gusto.
Huge thanks to all for their support including
Odell's, Carters Rentals, The Masons in New Street,
Community Arts Resource Centre and David Pibworth
of MK Theatre of Comedy who all enabled the magic
to happen.
"Amazing show! Had such a good time, wonderful
songs and Brexit jokes, the choreography in the Merry
Men song was insane! Well done everyone."
Here's to 2020!

Join the MK Midnight Moo
Willen Hospice is
calling on local
women to sign
up for this year’s
MK Midnight Moo
which takes place on
13 July.
In addition to the
popular 10 mile walk, Willen Hospice has introduced
a brand new Half-Moo. The new route is just over
half the distance, 6.3 miles, but promises to be just as
much fun.
This iconic event raised more than £120,000 last year
with walkers starting and finishing at intu Milton
Keynes. Whatever your walking skill, from beginner to
experienced you can join the fun. Walk on your own
and meet fellow walkers or even in pairs or as a team.
Willen Hospice Chief Executive Peta Wilkinson said:
“I was thrilled to be part of last year’s MK Midnight
Moo walking alongside 1000 other women, all
raising money to support our care. This is our biggest
fundraising event of the year and we’re so excited to
be launching it for 2019.”
The registration fee of only £20 covers the cost of the
event - the fundraising is key to the Moo’s success.
This year’s theme is disco and the organisers can’t wait
to see how walkers will embrace it. There should be
some interesting disco attire! Once again, Specsavers
Milton Keynes are supporting the Midnight Moo.
Willen Hospice needs to raise £4.7 million every year,
that’s £9 a minute, to continue to provide care to
patients in Milton Keynes and surrounding areas. The
MK Midnight Moo is a key event that helps the Hospice
to reach that goal. Can you help?
