The ever-popular pantomime, Cinderella, was performed by the Young Ones & their guests in a very special evening at the Netherton Arts Centre in Netherton, Dudley on Saturday 20 January with all proceeds going to the Ellie Bishop Trust (elliebishop.org). A capacity crowd of around 350, including a large number of children, enjoyed the evening which was opened by Black Country comedian Tommy Mundon. Free ice-cream for all children was provided at the interval by one generous benefactor. Conservative Parliamentary Spokesman for Stourbridge, Cllr Margot James, was on stage to draw the raffle for some fabulous prizes including mountain bikes & a flat-screen TV alongside the Trust's Chairman, Chris Kelly, & local businessman, Maurice Hudson of Hudsons of Dudley Ltd.


In all the evening raised about £5,000 for the Trust.
