Oh no they didn’t!

One Area Meeting’s thigh-slapping efforts to ensure that festive frolics weren’t derailed by Covid had Eye marveling at their creativity.

Andrew Backhouse, of Wilmslow Meeting, set the scene: ‘East Cheshire Area Meeting (AM) has organised a pantomime trip for many years, with free tickets for children and preceded by a shared lunch and games. Sometimes as many as sixty people have taken part.’ Covid restrictions appeared to prevent this seasonal shindig, until old traditions combined with surprising talents to create something unique.
