so suggest that the girl who was MARy in the nativity

[SCargot]

then went on to be centre in a netball team?

just a leetle theory i am h'explorin

[CatIsSleepy]

ooh I was wing defence
i think it was the position for not v. sporties as well as lazies

[timelordvictorious]

Narrator.
Centre (and captain).
AND head girl.

[TheFallenMadonna]

Ooh - that is me wildfig. Angel Gabriel, GK, tall and scary

[Kathyis12feethighandbites]

I am not tall (actually) but I always got male roles, because I had short hair. I also had to dance the boy's part in country dancing.

[CatIsSleepy]

and I was never mary
probably a shepherd or two
and I played the glockenspiel

[Bucharest]

a-ha! yup, tall and scary- check.

[IndigoSky]

Mary
Goal Attack at netball
RW at hockey
2H at lacrosse (yah)

My children are sheep in the nativity - should I be worried?

[sherby]

mary at last nights nativity, was beyond gorgeous I was like this when she walked past

not sure about the netball thing but I do remember the gang of 6 cool kids all got picked by a random raffle for a trip to meet princess di

strange that

[edam]

I played the effing glockenspeil in the nativity play, bah humbug. But was centre in netball.

[hohoholepew]

When I was Mary it was in the olden days wear dresses still had built in cups. I tried on the dress and half the class proceeded to poke my cups in. I wasn't amused.

[hohoholepew]

I played a judge munchkin in the wizard of oz, if that helps.

[TheCrackFox]

We didn't have a nativity.

I was also GK - tall and scary.

I do think there is something to it because I have noticed that "Joseph" at our school gets picked for everything.

[grenadine]

I was the narrator, wing attack (sometimes centre) at netball, hated lacrosse, prefect.

[GetOrfMoiLand]

The girl who was narrator also played violin and recorder in school orchestra, grew up to take science a levels and train to be a vet.

She didn;t have a date at the school prom.

[WeThreeNinks]

No, I was Goal Attack.

Actually I wasn't Mary in the end, was chosen but wanted to be a "weary traveller and trudge to Bethlehem with Matthew" instead

[MarthaFarquhar]

Angel Garbriel (tall)
Goal Defence (tall and well'ard)

I have never met a Centre that I warmed to.

[NorbertDentressAngel]

I was part of the "orchestra" (in the loosest sense of the word, as I was one of many screeching recorder players) and was Goal Shooter.

Mary was Goal Attack -much more sought after position than Centre IMO

[grenadine]

my dd is also the narrator..she'll be wing attack in a few years time!

[sockmonkey]

Never been Mary, was usually an angel or a shepherd (tom-boy alert)
was WD... not very sporty/lazy. Sometimes GK cos all you do is jump up & down when other team gets near, rest of time standing & looking bored.

[AmazingBouncingFerret]

I was Innkeepers wife (I lost my front tooth before going on stage so I looked like the Innkeepers beaten wife)
I was Goal Defence.
I had the steady boyfriend that sent me soppy gifts and cards on valentines day.

[Kathyis12feethighandbites]

DH was King Herod.
He is a grumpy sod even now.

[grenadine]

what is going to become of the girls selected to play shepherds and animal parts in the play..will they be goal defense and wing defense?!

[sherby]

our centre was person who always got to do registers, had boyfriend with obligitory padded valentines card, make up before everyone else and her mum did the oranges at half time

she is now fat and has a v shiny face

karma is a bitch
