Cinderella - 13, 14 15 December 2007
Cinderella made three performances to a packed audience in the village hall. A lively and entertaining performance each night, the cast had everyone involved and entertained right from the start. It was evident that the cast had worked hard and enjoyed themselves as much as the audience.
The Saturday performance was almost over before it began. Well, not really, but the audience was asked to decamp outside for a short period to enable the Mercury's photographer to take photographs of the cast in their costumes without spoiling the surprise for the audience.

A day in the Country -Sunday 3 June 2007
A BIG THANK YOU to the garden owners and musicians, to the cricketers for the match, the teams for the lunches, teas and the pig roast, to Michaels Folly who opened their studio to the delight of the visitors. The treasure hunt and the church for the beautiful flowers and the organ music and the village young musicians, the bakers of Little B and the stall holders with the farmers’ market and the little ponies, not forgetting the parking team, the grass cutter and the pay stations, the volunteers from the Red Cross and most of all the visitors, villagers, families and friends who made this a lovely day out.
We took £7.200 on the day.

The Twelve Days of Christmas, 2005
Having been involved in four nativity plays and two carol services it was a real treat to be a member of the audience at Little B Village Hall on Sat 17th Dec to see ‘The Twelve Days of Christmas’ directed by Sandie Ash.
The hall had been transformed into a glittering theatre soon matched by the sparkling performance that followed.
The songs (sometimes difficult) were sung with gusto, indeed surely an ‘X Factor’ star was born in the sonorous performance from Dan Cowler as Father Christmas and the acting led by an enthusiastic Mr Partridge (Ellis Downes) coupled with a fantastically grumpy Nasty Grimgrump (Louise Downes) was captivating. The two reindeer narrators (Mandy Cowler and Rebecca McKellar) brilliantly consolidated the whole show.
However even more heart-warming than the fantastic performances by adults and children alike was the realisation that we were all watching a community work together, acting, singing, making costumes and painting scenery to provide good old fashioned Christmas entertainment which raised money for a very worthwhile charity. In this day and age it was a joy to see so a huge thankyou should go to Sandie Ash for having the vision and enthusiasm to give us all such a treat.
