Feast of activities for all ages^ iRGdClGTS makes Grand a family affair


by the Editor


MORE than 2,000 people of all ages streamed into the new- look Grand on Saturday. From 10 a.m. onwards there was


a feast of activities, with Bizi Lizi’s a r t workshops attracting more than 500 youngsters who created 600 craft items. The beginners’ dance workshops


proved popular with the new-found talents displayed on stage in the


afternoon’s variety show alongside those exhibited by enthusiastic pupils from the Valley’s schools. Pendle Primary was just one


taking p ar t and told us: “The launch of the Grand in Clitheroe was a proud occasion for excited children to display their new-found talents and confidence. “Through the ‘MySkillz’ pro­


gramme, in conjunction with Oasis and Connexions, 15 children aged eight to 11 years gained an under­ standing of the skills and talents


needed to put on musical theatre. The project combined singing and dancing with the technical aspects of theatre - lighting and sound. “The emphasis which under­


pinned all of this was on collabora­ tive work and a positive approach. All the children completed the course with a certificate, a CD and a strong sense of their achieve­ ment. “They overcame their fears in


performing before an audience and encountered the difficulties of


singing and dancing at the same time; which, they all agreed, was harder than they had imagined! “The project gave them time to


explore difficult issues of resolving differences, working together, gain­ ing tru s t and persevering to


achieve a goal. “The children, their families and


Pendle School feel very proud to have had the opportunity to take part in the special launch weekend and with the Grand every success in becoming a major arts venue”.


In the evening, local band The


Ragamuffins joined The 99s along­ side Bluebird Kid Clark and on Sunday it was house full again tor a Christian worship event with singer/songwriter Ben Cantelon and Oasis founder Steve Chalke who joined in all the weekend’s cel­ ebrations. And, due to demand, a limited


number of tickets for Tom Baxter on Saturday will be available from the cafe, currently open from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.

interesting ones from overseas, will be exhibit­ ing at the show this year. Aldo Airplants, of Belgium, will be bringing over a selection of tillandsia. These are 'perfect houseplants for steamy areas such as bathrooms, as they gath­ er moisture and nutrients from the air, so do not
