review by Natalie CoxBUUX
. . . Hollywood Park; Burnley. Galaxy Quest (PG);'
SOME film critics are sent to celebri ty-packed premieres to see the latest Hollywood offerings. But there was no chance meeting with
Sigourney Weaver or Alan Rickman for me when I saw this latest film from outer space. Instead, I watched it as I travelled home from a holiday in Cyprus and, for me, it was more than just something that helped pass the time - although not all my travelling companions would agree with that sentiment. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a trekkie, or so caught up with the Star Wars phe
nomenon that I want to change my mid dle name to Chewbacca, but I do like the fact that those types of films are usually easy-to-watch and often fairly funny. And "Galaxy Quest" proved to be no exception. The story centres around a group of
actors who have appeared in a television series set in outer space. At a convention for their fans they are approached by aliens who have mistaken the on-screen drama for reality and have set out to seek the stars' help. The team from the TV eventually finds itself at the helm of a real space ship, which has been built, down to the last detail, as a life-size replica of their
set. I t has to be said th a t I like simple
humour and nothing amuses me more than dry wit. Predictable though the con tent of this film may have been, Alan Rickman again stole the show. His droll delivery often says more than a million words ever could.

Margaret Sefton, of Garden ers Row, asked why it was necessary for the village toi lets to be re-located from their present site in Whalley Road to the car park. The chairman had reported that the borough council was doing this in the current

Village hall: residents will have their say
A VILLAGE appraisal is to be carried out in Chatham to discover if a half million pound village hall is want
ed.
Members of the parish council were told at a recent
meeting th a t a steering group had been formed to organise the appraisal and arrange for questionnaires to be sent to each house. Villagers are being urged to fill these in as they will paint an overall picture of the village and highlight people's likes, dislikes, and
hopes for the future. One of the hopes shared

by the parish council is the building of a new village hall to replace the old struc ture in Downham Road. Here all the council's meet ings are held and there is a room for billiards on the first floor, but little else. What is more, there is no
room for expansion and no parking facilities for those
using the building. Villagers will be asked, should there be an overall
desire for a hall, what type of activities they hope to see accommodated, for example badminton and indoor bowls. An over whelming desire for these types of activities will then give an indication on the overall size required. Funding towards the new
hall, which could cost sever al hundred thousand pounds, would come partly through grants and Euro pean funding and council lors have already been to look at other new and extended village halls in nearby West Bradford, Bolton-by-Bowland and Chipping where the build ings are a focal point on vil lage activity.
