KEMPSTON OVER 50’S MEETING - THURSDAY 5 FEBRUARY

Pantomime dames are much loved British institution. Usually played by older male actors in flamboyant female clothing they are central to any great pantomime performance (oh yes they are!) Following in the footsteps of such legends as Danny La Rue and Christopher Biggins, local performer John Dowell (aka Florrie Floppybottom) will be taking a look at the history, traditions and behind the scenes secrets of being a Dame and of all things to do with the production of a pantomime. Following John’s illustrated presentation there will light refreshments, a raffle and a chance to meet and chat with friends old and new. New and non-members are always welcome to join us - just come along and enjoy the fun.

Annual membership is £10 + £2 per meeting
Non-members + guests - £3 per meeting
