Hats off to the Sticks and Stones performance last Saturday on the base of Elphinstone. Puppetry was taken to a new level – excellent job. My favourite was the deer; Bambi never looked so inviting. Thanks to all the Elphi Players. Watch for more performances from this group – a must for the whole family.
