34 members of Erwood YFC recently took to the stage in Brecknock YFC’s Pantomime Festival held at Theatr Brycheiniog.

Across the week, members of the club took part in the Pantomime, Senior and Junior One Plus competitions.

The Tuesday night of the festival saw both Senior One Plus entries take to the stage.

Erwood A saw Meg Powell, Lucy Brown, and Ieuan Williams perform their entry entitled ‘New Year New Me?’ - a comedy sketch song identifying the struggles of losing weight and accepting the body we are in. The sketch was written by Meg Powell and accompanied by Marc Williams

Erwood B saw Samuel Powell sit at the piano and perform a medley of songs.

Erwood A was placed seventh. Meg Powell was nominated for Best Individual in One Plus, while Samuel Powell was placed fifth.

The Thursday night of the festival saw the club’s entry in the Junior One Plus competition with their sketch entitled "The Trip” which had been written and produced by Sharon Fergusson and Dafydd Saunders-Jones. The sketch song saw six farmers talking about their experience of the farming protests in London. They were placed third with Ruby receiving a nomination for a Best Individual in a One Plus.

Friday night saw club members take to the stage with their entry in the Pantomime competition entitled "The Fairest of them All”. This show saw the Evil Queen and her trusty sidekicks of Cinderella and Goldilocks try to bring down the love of Snow White and Prince Charming. With the support of his wife, the Huntsman struggles to follow the Evil Queen’s orders, and Prince Charming is taken in to their family alongside their seven little men. With all the usual twists and turns of a pantomime, the cast stunned the adjudicator and the audience. This resulted in Erwood YFC being placed first.

Erwood also won the award for Best Choreography, Best Written Script and Best Production. The production was also nominated for Best Set, Best Costume and Make-up as well as individual nominations for Samuel Powell for Best Actor Under 28, Meg Powell for Best Actress Under 28 and Maisie for Best Actress Under 18.

The club is now looking forward to performing again, representing Brecknock YFC at the Wales YFC Final held in Llanelli on March 22.
