CHIPS (Crockham Hill Infant Players) has another panto success this year with a home grown panto chronically the amazing story of Jack & Jill, two homeless Victorian school children who are transported back to the age of the Pharaoh's to right an ancient wrong.Directed by Sally Boulton (who has directed Pinto's and Christmas plays for both Crockham hill and WADs (Westerham's Amateur dramatics group) and has appeared on stage in the Village Hall in numerous productions) the Panto rang for 5 nights early in the new year to packed audiences in Crockham Hill Village Hall  Mo Tobin said "It was a fantastic achievement for which everyone involved should feel rightfully proud. Every Crockham Hill Panto is special and this year has been no exception, I know Sally and I haven’t recovered from it yet and the songs are still swimming round your heads. My abiding memory was a feeling of great satisfaction during Saturday evenings performance when I sensed just how well everyone was performing and what effect it was all having". The play included a farting Camel called Methane, a cheating hand maiden call Hepatitis and a wealth of home grown songs written by Crockham Hills own Alan Woodward.CHIPS stage Panto's every 2 years and put on Adult performances each alternate year. All are welcome to get involved and there are a wealth of opportunities for people to try out either on stage of back stage (lights, sound, choreography etc...)
