WINFRITH Drama Group have been holding their Post Panto Party this Sunday evening and everyone turned up with delicious nibbles, drink and an opportunity for Kate Pope to present some special certificates and photos to the children who took part in this year's panto.

They were very enthusiastic and are looking forward to the next production they can take part in.
