Young farmers' milestone panto raises £8,000 for Norfolk charities
Wymondham Young Farmers' Club (YFC) staged five performances of Aladdin at Wymondham Central Hall in January.
All the surplus proceeds from the panto will be donated to Norfolk and Waveney Mind and Norfolk Blood Bikes - two charities which club members hold "close to their hearts".

Club chairman Edward Rowling, who played the role of a chamberlain in the show, said: "We really pulled together as a club, and the five performances were really well supported.
"The Friday and Saturday shows were sell-outs and at the end when the lights were turned up you could see it was absolutely packed. It was brilliant.
"I am proud of the club members for all their hard work, and all the other individuals - ex-members, associates and friends of the club - who have all come together to help. We had a lot of fun along the way, and brought a lot of people together."
The club will continue its fundraising efforts with a charity car wash on Saturday March 14 outside Toilets+ in Wymondham, opposite the fire station on London Road. The event will run from 10am-2pm, with a minimum donation of £5 per car.
