Once again the Longford Mummers performed ‘The Bampton Mummer’s Play’ in 6 Public Houses in the area on Saturday 20th December 2008, namely The Ostrich, Longford twice, Holly Bush Church Broughton, Rose & Crown, Boylestone, ShireHorse, Wyaston, Saracen’s Head Shirley, Three Horseshoes, Long Lane Village and back to the Ostrich
We also called at The Red Lion Hollington which had recently reopened, and by popular demand gave a second performance in the restaurant area of the Shire Horse at Wyaston
We were well received in all the establishments and by the end of the evening had raised almost £400 for our chosen charity this year ‘The National Children’s Homes’
All the performers gave near word perfect and faultless performances!! Some say thanks to a reviving bevvy after each show. We tweaked the performance a little this year by sitting and chatting amongst the audience before we went on to do our part, it was much better than standing outside in the cold. Some newcomers stepped in as if they had been doing it for years, our Spanish Robin Hood springs to mind

Many thanks to all the performer’s, our director John, car drivers and collectors and most importantly Kelly our ‘Drinks Kitty Organiser’ for a faultless performance.
