Anthony’s bringing cinema to villages
by Natalie Co.x
IT was lights, camera, action in Sabden as a school hosted a
community cinema event. With full cinematic effects,
including giant screen and proper 35mm film projection, visitors to St Mary’s RC'Primary School could enjoy a visit to the cinema without having to leave the com fort of their own village. Community Cinemas is a busi
ness venture founded in February, 2005, by entrepreneur Anthony Bamber. He has spent years building up
contacts with movie companies to ensure he can secure the latest releases before they go on general DVD sale. “I have built up relations with
the main distributors in London, including Disney and Warner Bros who I deal with directly,” said Anthony. He decided to set up his own
company following the closure of many independent cinemas in favour of multiplex operations in a bid to “take cinema where it has never been before”. Anthony, who is based at Grim-
sargh, believes his company is one of a kind: “I think we are the only mobile cinema in the country.” After investing in a giant 18ft by
10ft screen and a 35mm projector to give a proper cinema feel to events, he has visited churches, caravan sites, schools, village halls
and private parties. Said Anthony: “People think we put a DVD on a big television, but this is a giant, full-size screen.” Thanks to word of mouth and
repeat business, things are going well and many venues have already hosted a community cinema event: “Venues book the cinema to help with fund-raising or for rewarding children at school, parish councils book us for social events for their village,” he said. He added: “Our big market is for
family orientated and children’s films. We have showings of ‘Mr Bean’, ‘Meet the Robinsons’ and then, later in the summer, we will have Paramount’s ‘Shrek 3’. We will be running this through to November, as we have got such a lot of demand for it. In fact, this film is opening quite a lot of new

Clitheroe Advertiser &Times, Thursday, May 10th, 2007 17 Prince Harry and Posh made their way to Waddington!
CELEBRITIES made of straw adorned gardens, garages and porches in one Rib ble Valley village this weekend. Scarecrows dressed as Prince Harry,
Catherine Tate and Posh Spice were among the many that were on display in Waddington throughout the Bank Holi day. One garden was filled with dalmations,
in another King Triton - the monarch of the mer-people - sat on his throne, Dr Who, his tardis and a Dalek were also there, along with a couple of “Heart beat” officers surveying the village’s main thoroughfare. Outside the Post Office Postman Pat was keeping an eye on proceedings and elsewhere windows and gardens were filled with scarecrows of all shapes and sizes. Waddington’s Bank Holiday Festival
is a fantastic family treat, with hundreds of visitors flocking to the village from far and wide every year. This year events got under way on Fri
doors for us, as well as being booked by a lot of our existing cus tomers.” Anthony’s charges are based on
a “per head” basis, and as well as supplying the film he can help with promotion material and provides tickets. “These events are very easy to organise,” he said. “Our aim is to bring the real cin
ema to you, taking it where it has never been before,” said Anthony. © Anyone wanting more infor

Throughout the weekend there were
fairground rides for children on the vil lage croft and Sunday saw the Pendle Jazzmen entertaining visitors. Monday’s programme was also packed

This year around 2,000 ducks bobbed
their way down Waddington Brook to the cheers of the crowds as live commen tary was broadcast throughout by Adri an Hirst and spectators tried to spot their model mallard among the flock. First home was number 993 who secured a £200 prize for Elliott Smith. Three fur ther cash prizes were also up for grabs.

7th -1 3th May 2007 is Deaf Awareness Week and organisations working with deaf people across the country are inviting. everyone to 'Look At Me'.The theme aims to improve understanding of the different types of deafness by highlighting the many different methods of communication used by deaf, deafened, deafblind and hard of hearing people, such as sign language and lipreading. For more information, contact the UK Council on Deafness
atwww.deafcouncil.org.uk or e mail
info@deafcouncil.org.uk. Did you know, nearly 15% of the population have some degree of deafness. That means that for every 10,000 of the population of Lancashire:
10 will be born profoundly
deaf.They probably get little or no benefit from hearing aids and mainly use sign language to communicate. 20 will have become profoundly
deaf.They may use sign language and probably also lipread. 100 will be partially
deaf.They may have difficulty following what is being said, even with hearing aids. Mostly they will lipread and some use sign language as well. 600 will be hard of
hearing.They wjll be able to follow what is being said with a hearing aid and will be able to use a telephone if it has an adjustable volume or has been designed to be used with a hearing aid.
800 will be mildly hard of
hearing.They may have difficulty following conversations particularly in large groups or in noisy
situations.Some will wear hearing aids and many find lipreading helpful. As a result, for every 10,000, approximately 1,500 people living in and around Lancashire could benefit from wearing a modern, digital hearing aid. The HEARING centre are your local, independent, family run hearing aid dispensers, with nearly 40 years of experience in helping the people of Lancashire to hear better. In conjunction with Deaf Awareness Week, information days are being held at each of our four centres. So if you require any information on hearing loss or assistive listening devices like amplified telephones, available from £39.95,call into your local centre for an informal discussion with any of our highly trained, professional and courteous staff. To contact us Tel: (01282) 433010 or our website:
www.thehearingcentre.com Remember- if a hearing person and a hard of hearing person have trouble communicating, the problem is shared: communication is everybody's responsibility. The Hearing Centre, together with Rayovac Hearing Aid Batteries, this years Deaf Awareness Week sponsor, is offering 2 for 1 on all batteries up until Saturday 12 May 2007 with this advert.
