Joining the cast of this year's Keighley Panto are players from the town’s Cougars team.

Keighley Amateurs will be presenting the pantomime Aladdin and two of the Keighley Cougars will be appearing at each show.

Steven Clark, who plays Widow Twanky (pictured with the Cougars mascot), made the contact and the Cougars were pleased to help. The audiences will see the Cougars as never before as the players escort Widow Twanky on to stage.

Louise Barton, Keighley Amateurs chairman, said: “We are delighted that the Cougars were willing to join in the fun.”

The show runs from Saturday, January 26, to February 2 at Keighley’s Victoria Hall. Call 0845 625250 for details.
