The last three have been fantastic. I love pantomimes and it's such a shame that it's not running next year.

A brilliant thing for the town in so many ways, and such a shame to have cut its legs off just as it was truly finding its feet.

I have had the privilege to be part of Fleet Panto for the last two years in the juvenile cast, and they have been some of the best times of my life. Fleet Panto taught me so much about the performing industry, team work and self confidence, and why should other children who love performing miss out on this incredible opportunity and experience of taking part in a professional show? Pantos are about magic and creating happiness, laughter and family entertainment, of which Fleet Panto most definitely did. I couldn't have asked for a better company to have been in Panto with- it brought so much to Fleet and I truly hope that it has the opportunity to keep doing so.

As a performer and knowing many actors who have had the chance to perform in fleet pantomimes I think it would be an enormous shame to cancel it not only for the community but for the actors themselves who enjoy it so much. Pantomimes are such a long standing tradition and I think as a people we should push to keep traditions ongoing for the next generations.

An amazing pantomime, something for the community, getting everyone involved as well as being fantastic entertainment over Christmas. A shame that such a wonderful, local pantomime is being axed.

My 7 year old grandson lives in Fleet and it is a great thing for him to go to Fleet Panto with his school and parents. To take it away would be a sad day for many a young child especially as it could well be their only introduction to 'Live Theatre'. Save it for it is Priceless!

I grew up in Fleet and my parents still live there. One of my uni friends is now a highly respected west end performer who came down to Fleet to do this panto a couple of years ago - what an incredible thing to have too west end talent in Fleet! I would have LOVED that and found it so inspiring growing up and I'm sure the kids of Fleet today would to! Don't take that away from them! Proper high quality family entertainment, much better than being sat in front of the TV!

This panto means so much to Fleet! It brings far too much to Fleet as a whole for it to just disappear. Fleet needs a PROFESSIONAL panto!

I've been to Fleet Panto for the last 2 years and it has been fantastic. Amanda's script with the cast she puts together make for a fantastic show and it is a dreadful decision to stop this winning combination from presenting the Fleet pantomime.

Cancel the Panto? So families can spend more time indoors in front of televisions and computer screens over Christmas? So those who have a Panto tradition can go and spend their money boosting the economy of other towns? So children who have the potential to go into careers in the arts, and learn vital skills about teamwork and self-confidence, can instead waste more free time on iPhones and watching reality TV? Because an annual event that brings the community together, and brings valuable income boosts to local businesses in Fleet, is dispensable? Nothing about this makes sense, unless you want Fleet to be just another soulless commuter town with little to no culture.

Amanda has worked so hard to bring such a professional panto to Fleet every year! Would be an awful loss to this community!
