(C100402/2) ;: Arts centre plan for the town Currently, a team of


four paid and 35 volun­ teer staff man the Grand Cinema. Operations over the past two years have, says Mr Jackson and the Trinity Partnership Board of Trustees, only succeeded thanks to the commitment of the vol­ unteer team, without whom the existing large- scale auditorium and the single-screen venue would not have proved sustain­ able. The foundation and


partnership believe that, the new centre will have a tremendous impact on


the social, educational and vocational developr ment of local young peo:


pie. The redevelopment of


the Grand Cinema will; they say, be complement­ ed by the development of a new town centre Coiri1

tray a progressive Ribble Valley community fully able to meet the demands for cultural leisure arid educational resources for both local people and visi: tors to the town and bor­ ough.

league of British ’60s groups - there


were times when they were jockey­ ing for chart positions with the Bea­ tles and the Rolling Stones. Origi­ nally from Newcastle, their huge international best-seller, "House of the Rising Sun", originally consid­ ered "too long and too rude", estab­ lished them around the world. 2 John Steel and Dave Rowberry are the only two survivors from the orig­

reformed the Animals in 1992. He stepped in to sing after the lead singer bowed out just over a year ago. ~ The 40-year-old has returned to Glitheroe for a short rest, after a huge- iy-successful 45-day UK tour with Georgie Fame. The tour followed big successes in Russia, where they played to crowds of up to 100,000. ? "It is amazing", said Mr Barton. "The band is going down a storm and we are getting people aged from 17 to 70 being bowled over by the sound we
