Berkshire Bedlam at
Sidmouth 2000 |

|
Well, the waiting was over, practice time had run out, we'd
removed the stains from Rob's breeches for the umpteenth time - it was
time to show the unsuspecting and largely uncaring world what we could do
....
|
 |
 |
Our opening spot - Saturday morning at the flagraising ceremony, performing
'Coconuts'
|
The first test - can we get round each
other without falling off the stage?
|
 |
 |
The final test - can most of us remember to face outwards at the end?
|

|

|
Saturday lunchtime, outside the Anchor
- getting into it now ..... |
 |
Saturday afternoon - our first Arena Show
Do you think they were all there just there to watch us ??

and scene stealing shirt ripping ...
