Glenmore Pantomime Society
Due to family life and commitments, our committee is now down to four members, making it very difficult to continue.
We’re holding an information evening on Wednesday 25th February at 8pm in Glenmore Community Centre to share what’s involved in staging a show.
To continue, we urgently need:
· New committee members
· Sponsorship and help securing sponsors
· Fundraising support
· Help with stage design and construction
· Costume assistance
· Volunteers at showtime (junior chorus, front of house, raffle, shop, etc.)
Thank you to everyone who has supported us so far — your hard work, sponsorship, and ticket sales have made it all possible. We hope to see you on the 25th.
