Letter to Editor:- "Circus Mondao"

"WE are so pleased to be making our very 1st visit to the area, You may of seen plenty of other circuses, but you have not seen anything like Circus Mondao. Its spectacular... Well what a year we have had so far, 2020 a year no 1 will forget. We started our season mid February and done about 3 venues before lockdown happened and we all returned to our farm. We thought it would be a few weeks! Never believing it would be near 5 months before we can start performing again, Well I can tell you we received no help from the Government, yes we are a registered business, but we do not have a business premises due to the nature of our business, so we was not eligible for any of the Government Grants. Our performers are all international performers who come here to work on VISAs, these cost around £1000 per person with all the health checks and health charges flights ect. part of their VISA Regulations is:- 'No Access To Public Funds,' also they 'Can Not Take A Job Outside Of The Entertainment Sector.' so as you can imagine this has put all these circus artiste in a very sticky situation, especially with bounders closed, so they can't return home, to their own country, plus on money to pay for flights, no income, not being allowed to earn an income and no help from the UK Government. So how have we survived these last 5 months!!!! Well we have lived off food bank donations for all that time... YES REALLY! From the kindness of local food banks that's kept everyone feed for the last 5 months we are forever grateful , It is not until you have to ask for this help that you realise how amazing these people are who organise food banks and those who donate to them. To say thank you to the food banks we want to give back, so we are setting up a 'Food Bank Collection Point' at the Circus, we are asking every customer to bring along a non perishable items of food like:- pasta, rice, tinned items, UHT milk, cereal, crisps, biscuits, toiletries, toilet rolls, etc etc. we are working with local food bank charities who will be collecting the items from us to redistribute to families in need. We would love for you to help us publicise this so everybody knows what we are doing and hopefully will donate some items. we are a traditional family circus with a host of high flying acrobats, amazing artiste, crazy clown Ruanito, has come all the way from brazil, beautiful showgirls, aerial artistry, jugglers, a Wheel Of Death, Moroccan Tumblers, chair balancing, motor bike carousel, dressage horses... There is just to much to mention. We have a great traditional circus for all the family to enjoy, our show is suitable from babies to grannies and its a show not to be missed. We have lots of new Covid procedures in place to safe guard our staff , artiste and customers. all our staff and artiste have been living together since lockdown began, so they are very safe to mix and work with each other. all our staff will wear PPE while dealing with the public, facemasks or visors and gloves. At the time of booking tickets we ask those attending to do 'Track and trace,' we have sanitiser stations around the circus, we are temperature testing on the way into big top. We have a 1 way system in place and reduced capacity in the big top, people from family pods can sit together. We ask all attending to keep your distance from other families, as we want you to enjoy the show, but we want everyone to be safe as well. Our show is also fully licensed and regulated by DEFRA. Please go onto our website:- CircusMondao.Co.UK and our Facebook Page Circus Mondao to read what others think of our great show." said Petra Jackson.

Petra told us that the Circus will be at the Circus Field, Orrell Hill Lane, Ince Bludell, (LS85DA) over 9 September to 13 September 2020.
