Dengie Amateur Music Group have been performing pantomimes for 25 years at Dengie Village Hall.

All have been very entertaining.

This year was no exception "Mother Hubbard goes West".

All the cast was excellent and the sets and costumes were first class.

However, special mention must be given to Old Mother Hubbard and Tumbleweed, played by Peter and David May.

They made a wonderful duo and delighted the audience with their very funny performance.

Over the years the group has raised several thousand pounds for charity. Last year the sum was £1,300.
