 Sketches were topical, typical and sometimes epileptical. The young children were organised by Pam Baker into a presentation of "Clementine" and I hope that we shall see more efforts by the children. Some older children (Nobles plus friend) put on a very creditable sketch based on Little Red Riding Hood. Bravo, let's have some more.
