company calling itself “The Grand at Clitheroe” and funded through the Lan caster Foundation, the re launch of the building will be a showcase for the work of technical consultant Robin Knox, who was responsible for designing the light and sound system, installed once the building had been soundproofed.

carried out at the site over the past few weeks, project consultant Mr Keith Short- ley is keen to emphasise that this is not “it” as far as The Grand is concerned. In the long term there are plans to build a perfor mance area, cyber cafe, recording studio and dance rehearsal area. Explained Mr Shortley: “The original intention was to close the cinema and carry out all
behind the planned major refurbishments at the site is to make the building acces sible to those with disabili ties. “It is a shame to have facilities like this that can not be accessed by every one,” said Mr Shortley. As part of The Grand’s
major refurbishment work immediately on the studios and cafe, but we have taken a step back to enable us to carry out an ‘Action Research’ programme with local schools and other organisations to find out how the building can best be used.” One of the major aims
long-term future Mr Short ley hopes that education groups will be among its main users. He said: “Edu cation will be one of our main focuses. We want to be available for schools, col leges and other education institutions to use, and will be providing good facilities and equipment to facilitate top quality teaching.” Although it was original
ly anticipated that the tem porary work, which will also include some refurbish ment of the former nuclear bunker to create dressing room space for those per forming on-stage, would only be in place for about a six month period before the major refurbishment work commenced, Mr Shortley envisages that it will now be in place for a “substan tially longer period”. Over coming months, and with the aid of an interactive DVD which will enable users to have a virtual reali ty tour of the building enabling them to see what the Grand may look like in years to come, a soon to be created development team will be given responsibility for running the Action Research programme and assessing the best way to progress the building. Added Mr Shortley: “We want ideas from local young people and others about how we can make best use of the premises, as
we have not got all the answers. Hopefully we can then build these ideas into a long-term plan for the cen tre. By re-opening now we are taking a halfway step rather than rushing out and doing all the work only to find out later that it is not being used.” Mr Shortley hopes that
other groups will now fol low the lead of Trinity Community Partnership - the organisation responsi ble for running the cinema at The Grand - and come up with other imaginative ways to use the facilities. ©The Grand will be open
to public view between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. tomorrow and Saturday. Anyone wishing to comment on the building’s future can con tact Mr Shortley by tele phone on 01200 426221. Robin Knox and Keith
