your life." Rehearsals are in full swing for the Stage Two theatre

funny at all." "It is a very different, but a very watchable play,' com­


ments Stage Two performer Mrs Lesley Knight. "The Time of My Life" runs from Wednesday until Sat­


urday at Downham Village Hall. Tickets are priced £3.50, inclusive of refreshments, and are available from Ribble Valley Tourist Information Office. Our picture shows Stage Two performers Miss Deborah Mackee, Mr James Masterman, Mr Eddie Bootle, Mrs Lesley Knight and Mr Tim Milne-Redhead enjoying the time of their lives. (080399/12/03)
