JM PANTOMIME

Huge congratulations to everyone who contributed to yet another amazing Junior Minstead pantomime this year.

It was fangtastic!

Special thanks (in no particular order) go to Wendy Hague, Jo Vardy, Marian Young and Geoff Green

But there were a huge number of others behind the scenes and on the stage who made this version of Dracula truly memorable!

Keep an eye on the JM page on the Village website for further news and photographs.

 Some of the Minstead Litter Pickers

Some of the Minstead Litter Pickers!

And many thanks to all those others who helped and who turned out during the week and on the day to collect the plastic, paper, bottles, cigarette packets, old tyres etc. etc. deposited round the Village by those who cannot be bothered to take their rubbish home!

At least we can say there was one day in the year when Minstead was relatively litter free!

 What a load of Rubbish!
