RUGBY CLUB ENTERTAIN AT PANTO<br />
<strong>Uckfield</strong> Rugby Football Club were proud<br />
to present their first pantomime for many a<br />
long year. Robin Hood and his Merry Men was<br />
billed as ‘a magical Pantomime and it did not<br />

attended (over 120 in the afternoon and over<br />
250 for the evening), who saw the show of any<br />
age will have had a memorable experience.<br />
