A NOSTALGIC look back through an amateur theatre group's first decade of shows is being put on this weekend.

Southampton's CityBus Roving Amateur Players will be performing scenes from pantos of Christmas past to raise cash for the Winchester Heart Support Group.

The part-time actors and backstage crew aim to donate £2,000 for much-needed lifesaving equipment.

Since it was formed ten years ago, the group has raised about £14,000 for worthy causes.

There are more than 30 members who include First Southampton bus drivers, families and friends.

They have spent the last five months rehearsing for this year's landmark production, tailored towards adults and older children, at Southampton CityBus Sports and Social Club in the company's Portswood Road depot.

Curtain up for the three shows at that venue from Friday to Sunday is 8pm, and doors open 30 minutes earlier.

Tickets are £3 from the club on 023 8036 3314 or Sandra Perryman on 023 8055 1918.
