ARTICLES OF PANTO (From the Programme)

Shiver me timbers and pipe me truss. You 'ere land lubbers have been press ganged into His Majesty's vessel of old jokes 'The Doddington Panto' Gawd bless her and all who sail in her. You're all press-ganged for the duration of hostilities, about 2 hours of suffering & scurvy.Any attempts at desertion will result in flogging with the 'Cat O' one tails'. (We looked everywhere for a cat with nine tails but couldn't find one anywhere). Our cat for tonight is a ginger tom called 'fluffykins'.Welcome aboard shipmates we set sail for the new world with treasure galore

ARTICLES

1. Failure to obey a senior officer (ushers) will result in being forced to watch a 2nd performance - no parole.

2. Not booing in the face of the enemy (the pirates) is punishable by being strung up by the bell-bottoms

3. Not laughing at jokes (no matter how bad) is a capital offence, Punishable by death by 'A'ddock a la Hawkins. (Gruesome)

4. Not joining in 'Oh yes it is' and 'Oh no it isnt's' is contrary to Admiralty regulations and the penalty is bottom scraped of     barnacles & treated for wood worm.

5. Members of the crew not joining in sing -a-long songs will have their main mast re-stepped and trailing rigging thrown     overboard.

6. Singing yo-ho-ho in a slovenly manner, 15 lashes from fluffykins tail and a stern talking too!.
