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 />

to Ashdown Forest’, starring several local<br />

celebrities and even a giant squirrel!<br />

The Pantomime had much to offer and the<br />

cast and crew had had great fun along the<br />

way. Both performances were very well<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 />
