‘Oliver!’ is a hit with local theatregoers


“A brilliant production of the smash-hit musical “Ol­ iver!” is packing them in at St Mary’s Centre this week - and deservedly so,” writes our reviewer Eric Beards-


. worth, who saw the show on opening night. “Lionel Bart’s masterpiece is the greatest British post-war musical - no “probably” or “possibly” about it - and it’s wonderful to see the hugely


; talented members of Clithe- - roe Parish Church Amateur Operatic and Dramatic Soci­ ety throw themselves into it with such infectious enthu­ siasm.” You can read Erics’s re­

university route,” Benjamin explained, “but l am bet­ ter suited to hands on work. This award shows„that hard work pays off and it gets rec­ ognised.” At St Augustine’s Ben­

study for a degree in manu­ facturing engineering while working, will be interviewed in London for the UK f ir s t , year apprentice of the year.
