Puss in Boots - Pantomime entertainment at its best!
The much anticipated pantomime, Puss in Boots arrived at Polesworth Memorial Hall on Saturday 28th of January 2012. This phenomenally popular event saw 180 local residents gather at the memorial hall for a fun-filled evening of entertainment. The pantomime was popular with parents and children alike with local resident Robert Norris quoting that:
'The pantomime was a fantastic success, it was entertaining for both adults and children. I hope it returns again next year'
Polesworth Community Association would like to thank all residents who came along to the performance, which raised a total of £525. The funds will go toward much needed improvements to the Community Hall.
Due to the unprecedented success of this year's pantomime, Polesworth Community Association is hoping to secuire next years booking with the Great Barr Musical Theatre Company, with a brand new pantomime. Keep your eyes peeled on this website for announcements of future events!

We had an exceptional amount of bric-a-brac and books donated for our Carnival Stall from many 200 club members and friends. We also received some marvellous cakes with very many cooked by our committee members and spouses.
As a result we finished the day sold out of cakes and drinks!
The following analysis shows a truly welcome income over expenditure on the day of £336.14. Special thanks must go to the Management Committee, their spouses and the Trustees who made the effort to help man the stall on the community sports field on the Saturday
