Hello everyone,
I’ve have been kindly asked if I would circulate details of the Membury panto this year and, given the physical closeness and friendship between our two villages and not withstanding the ribbing that we have to endure when they visit our panto, not only is it always an enjoyable event but a chance to get our own back too! You’ll find the details at the bottom of this message.
It also may be of interest that their panto script writer, Ruth Foster, has just had her first novel published where she revisits the 90s and 00s with hilarious results. In A Perfect Year? a feud between very different neighbouring families unfolds over three decades – entirely through their annual ‘round robin’ letters. It’s guaranteed to strike a chord with anyone who has ever received – or written – a seasonal round robin.
“This captivating read is perfect… we loved it”
Said Closer magazine.
A Perfect Year? is available as a paperback or ebook, from Amazon/online or from bookshops including the Archway in Axminster. More info at www.ruthfosterauthor.com or contact Ruth at info@ruthfosterauthor.com.
I know that there are some keen bookworms in the village so thought this worth passing on as something you might well be interested in and enjoy.
Thanks,
Michael
