Ofsted rates Paston SixthForm College all ‘good’Inspectors visited the College last month and published their reportthis month, giving it an overall rating of ‘good’, as well as ‘good’ in allthe individual aspects that are assessed : exam results, teaching andlearning, personal development, behaviour and welfare, and leadershipand management. The inspection was based on the new, tougher inspection framework, which was introduced in September 2015.

The Inspection found that, at Paston :

“All learners are well behaved, motivated and have a positive attitudeto learning, in and outside of lessons.”

“They treat each other and their teachers with respect and valuegreatly the high level of support and guidance provided by their teachers.”

“Learners benefit from teachers’ high levels of specialist skills and thepassion they have for their subjects.”

“The quality of learners’ work is high and at times outstanding.”

“Learners make very good progress in their lessons; as a result a highproportion of learners achieve their qualifications and their targetgrades.”

“A high proportion secureplaces in higher education,including at Russell Groupuniversities, or gain employment when this istheir intention.”

The Report suggested theCollege would be ‘outstanding’ were it notfor the “small number” of

students without GCSEmathematics, where “toofew learners improve theirGCSE mathematics gradewhile at the college” andalso because “not enoughlearners, particularly thoseon academic programmes,have sufficient access towork experience placements.”

In fact, the College was already working to address these areas with theappointment of a new GCSE mathematics specialist, who has alreadyhad a significant impact on results, and a collaboration with the careersspecialist ‘Beacon East’ to improve students’ preparation for work.

Principal Kevin Grieve said “This is an extremely pleasing Reportwhich reflects the excellent results our students have achieved over anextended period of time. I am very proud of all the hard work put in bystudents and all the teaching and support staff at the College. I wouldalso like to thank parents for their contribution and the support fromeveryone involved with the College. It is a great team effort.”

He also commented that “Ofsted have not only picked out areas of goodand outstanding practice but provided us with other guidance to geteven better in the future. We know we have a very good College herethat is at the heart of the community, helping students achieve highgrades and progressing on to great opportunities in HE and employment.”

The College is having an Open Morning on Saturday 6 February2016 from 10am – 12.30pm. This will provide students and parentswith an opportunity to find out more and apply for September2016.

AGE CONCERNHere at Age Concern North Norfolk we are trying to eradicate loneliness amongst the over55s in our area and have been running a befriending service for 10 years now. We arefunded by the National Lottery with an aim atdoing just that.

But to help us achieve this goal we desperatelyneed more volunteers to become befrienders.We currently have a long waiting list for people who would like a befriender and many,without more volunteers, will have to potentially wait for a long time to be matchedwith someone. We want that to change in 2016.

Please do something wonderful this New Yearand give someone who is lonely back their lifeby lifting their moral and, for many, givingthem a reason to go on living.

I did this before I became employed by ourcharity and, like so many of our wonderful existing volunteers, I got so much pleasure outof seeing another person being made so happyby a simple act, such as making a cup of teaand listening to their stories.

Your visit may last for an hour or two, once ortwice a week, or fortnightly; whatever time youare free to give and that you and your newfriend mutually agree upon. You may playgames, reminisce, and help to read books orjust have a good old chat over that aforementioned cuppa.

Having that someone you know and get alongwith in your life and the feeling you have asyou look forward to seeing them can make theworld of difference to a befriended person andthe volunteer. It can be the difference betweenthe befriended getting poorly and or falling illand them having a happy, fulfilling quality oflife. Made only all the more important this timeof year as the cold days and dark nights canoften bring the gloomy thoughts of lonelinessto many.

Bring a little light back to someone’s life in2016.

If you would like to become a volunteer, thenplease contact us on the details below as youcould be making a real difference to someone’slife in the year ahead.

We have quiz sheets, in conjunction withG.I.F.T (Good Intentions Fundraising Team), totest your little grey cells. Pick up a form fromour Day Centre - it is only £1 to enter and youcan enter anytime upto 28 February. Prizesavailable.

Sheringham Woodfields School is going into the New Year with excitingplans to redevelop its play areas.

The existing school playgrounds are over 12 years old and showingsigns of tiredness. Importantly, they are failing to meet the needs of allthe pupils. However, adding items to the layout as it is now would present difficulties. As the school has funds and grants that have beenaccumulated over the past few years that must be used for capital expenditure, the decision has been made to bite the bullet and undertakethis extensive project.

"In addition to the grant support we are receiving, we owe a debt of gratitude to businesses and groups in North Norfolk, who have donatedmoney to us. I would especially like to thank the East of England Co-operative Society, Crayford and Abbs, the Sheringham Shantymen,Royal Cromer Golf Club and Sheringham Methodist Church all ofwhich have supported us in our aim to give our pupils a fantastic playand learning experience," says Matthew Smith, Business Manager atSheringham Woodfields School.

He goes on "We must also add to our list of staunch supporters, theFriends of Sheringham Woodfields School, who give freely of their timeand have raised £8,000 for the project, and finally the school's own charity shop, Woodfields Den, which has contributed a mighty £20,000to swell the coffers. Without the efforts of all these organisations and businesses, the project would be unable to go ahead. Thank you

everyone."

Playdale Playgrounds has been chosen to develop the project, which isscheduled to begin with the first stage development at the start of theEaster school holiday. The rest will be undertaken during the May halfterm and summer holiday, and be completed in time for the start of thenew school year in September 2016. Once fully open, pupils will be ableto enjoy a new and exciting playground with fun and challenges accessible to everyone. The different play areas will incorporate shadeand shelter, water and sand play and many more activities for pupils inwheelchairs.

"We wanted to involve the whole school in the planning process, so wehave taken steps to ask questions of both pupils and staff about colourschemes, equipment, theplay value in the varyingareas, and above all,whether we have missedanything vital," Matthewfinishes by saying."Everyone now has ownership of this veryexciting project."

Pupils from North Walsham Junior School recently visited theNelson Room at Paston Sixth Form College.

All of the pupils experienced some real hands on history whenstudying Nelson. Pupils spent time studying letters, paintingsand a range of artifacts linked to Nelson. Their enthusiasm forthe exercise was encouraged by the chance to win a Paston Bear.The three winners Teejay Baylis, Josie Fryer and HarveyHaysman, all collected the most information from the investigation of all the items in the historic Nelson Room.

Kevin Grieve, Principal at Paston, said “the pupils had a won-derful afternoon examining the historical documents associatedwith Nelson. It was brilliant to see their enthusiasm to learn andgain knowledge about Nelson. They produced some outstandingwork and are a credit to their school”.

Masons help CromerCharity back on the roadThe Baring Lodge of Freemasons has presented Cromer-based charity About WithFriends, a cheque for £525 to launch the fundto replace their fully-accessible minibus. About With Friends, who offer people withlearning disabilities the chance to lead the livesthey choose, run a range of services for peoplefrom the age of 8 upwards. This includes socialactivities, respite breaks, supported living, andtheir ground-breaking Workskills programmewhere adults with learning disabilities are supported in commercial work ventures.

The current minibus has clocked up more than90,000 miles over the past six years and is duefor replacement. As well as running staff, volunteers and members of the charity around,

it is also used in the community to pick up people for the lunch clubs that About WithFriends run for the Over 55s and similarevents. With a wheelchair lift on the back theminibus is a vital part of the charity’s fleet andwill cost about £32,000 to replace so the giftfrom the Freemason’s is a very welcome startto the fund.

Baring Lodge now meets at Sheringham Masonic Centre but its roots are very much inCromer. Founded in 1896 in the long goneTuckers Hotel, the name Baring comes fromthe family who owned Cromer Hall for manyyears. The Lodge met in a succession ofCromer venues until 1986 when it moved toSheringham. It has quietly been a part of theCromer community and continues to supportlocal and national charities, whilst maintainingits Masonic history and traditions.

The picture shows the Master of the Lodge,Roy Chadwick, accompanied by Richard Longley, Past Master presenting the cheque toRichard French, a Workskills member. Richardis wearing regalia (a Collar and Apron) borrowed from the Master. Also pictured areWorkskills members Keara Dougan, JonathanChamberlen and Stuart Phillips

Laser hair removal just got betterTry the latest, fastest, painless and most effective hair removal laser atthe Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic. With up to 30% off during February thereis no reason not to!

According to the latest research in hair removal, women shave 11,540times in their lifetime and men spend 3000 hours on their shaving routine. It is no surprise then that a large number of people are turning toa long lasting solution for unwanted hair.

At the Coltishall Cosmetic Clinic, Dr Sanjay Gheyi MBBS MS FRCSFPCert BCAAM treats patients not only from Norfolk, but also surrounding counties and abroad. True to his philosophy of offering besttreatments and technologies he has invested in the best technology forlaser hair removal.

We see patients in all age groups, both sexes and gender reassignmentcases. We all realise the physical impact of unwanted hair, but when wedig a bit deeper it is quite heart wrenching to hear some stories. Oftenthere is lack of awareness of laser hair removal and how effective it is.

Coltishall Clinic now has not one, but five different lasers for hair removal. One laser cannot work best for everyone. Hence, we have

decided to have a range of lasers to provide best results to our patientsand clients. Says clinic manager Trish.

How do we choose your laser? - we consider your skin type, hair typeand body area to treat and then decide which machine will work best foryou. You do need to have a proper consultation for laser hair removal.We also see people who can have medical reasons for hair growth andfurther testing or issues may need to be considered.

What about the pain and speed! It is not painful; sensation is just likesnap from a rubber band. A cool gel is used with IPL and cool spray withour laser, which is incredibly fast and allows us to treat a full back orlower or upper legs in less than 40 minutes. It is very safe and offers unmatched results. You can watch a video of this laser on our website.

Easter Sunday, 27 March. will see Fakenham host its first Criterium Cycleraces, a 5K running race and 1k fun run asparts of the town will be closed to trafficto create a one kilometre circuit. Therewill also be food, stalls and activities.

Richard Crook, Chairperson of ActiveFakenham, which is putting on the eventsaid, “For the last couple of years we haveput on the Shopkeepers Olympics andShowcase Day, this year we are planningsomething a bit different. Criterium racingis an exciting spectacle where dozens ofbikes lap closed roads in the town centrefor a fixed period of time. The circuit willhave up to 2k of barriers; the bikes followa motor bike and have sophisticated electronic timers attached. As well as thebike races we are planning a large 5k run-ning race with up to 250 runners and anEaster Fun Run where all children entering will earn the Easter egg they willbe given at the end of their run or walk”.

Now is the time to book a place as the organisers expect to reach capacity andmay not be able to take bookings on theday. The runs are for all ages and abilities(minimum age 11 for 5k), Day licencesare available for the youth and category 4cycle races and it is all free to spectators. Activities and stalls areavailable for clubs, businesses and or-ganisations.

Richard added, “It’s an exciting specta-cle because it’s a series of lap races andpeople get to see a lot as the runnersand riders circle the town and we hopeto have a running commentary. The aimis to encourage people to get active,have a good time and enjoy the townon a Bank Holiday. We have had goodsupport from sponsors including, Aldiss, North Norfolk District Council,Fakenham Sports &Fitness Centre, theFakenham Racecourse and others. What is particularly pleasing to me isthat there has been great voluntary support from locals and others acrossthe county; Black Bikes from Sheringham will be sending a team torun the cycle registration, a team is

coming from Kings Lynn to help marshal,local runners are helping get the run together and groups in Norwich areleafletting the City. Fakenham’s cycleclub, the East Coast Riders are supportingthe event and several riders from the clubwill be racing.

Sheringham Museum VolunteersRemember Olive Edis Sixty years ago thismonth, Olive Edis, one ofthe most famous residentsof Sheringham passedaway at the age of 79. Shedied in London but herashes were interred withher husband Cambridgeacademic Edwin HenryGalsworthy, a cousin ofthe novelist JohnGalsworthy, in a familyplot in Sheringham cemetery.

Most famous locally forher portraits of Sheringham fishermen,Edis was also the first female war photographerin the country during theFirst World War. A largeamount of her work isheld at the National Portrait Gallery, ImperialWar Museum, Cromer andin Sheringham.

With no surviving immediate relatives in the

local area, the Sheringham Museum Volunteers felt that it was important to remember the life ofsuch an important woman in the history of the town and so spent a daytidying up the weeds that had grownover the grave and then placed a wreath and bunch of lilies in her mem-ory. Prior to undertaking this work, they sought the permission of Sher-ingham Town Council, custodians of the cemetery, and tracked downone of the few living relatives.

The Sheringham Museum is currently undertaking major extensionworks to the museum building andhopes to create a permanent displayof some of the pieces of her work inthe collection in one of the new

On Saturday 27 February, the fabulous RoyalAir Force Wyton Area Voluntary Band arecoming to Hunstanton to give one of theirhighly entertaining concerts with all proceedsgoing to The Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House.The concert has been organised by Wing Commander (Rtd) Kevin Mackie, President ofthe Wyton Band (and its solo euphoniumist), inmemory of his late father, Chris Mackie.

Many local people will remember ChrisMackie, who was well-known across Norfolkas a popular speaker and personality. He cameto Heacham as an evacuee in 1944 and, havingno real place to go back to, he came to regardthe village as his home, with theProctor/Raines family, who took him in, as hisfamily. The feeling was mutual and they remained close from then on. After a long career in the Royal Air Force, Chris returned toNorfolk in the 1980s, firstly to live and work atFelbrigg Hall, near Cromer, and then as an accountant in Heacham. In the 1990s he had along association with the Princess Theatre, and

with the theatre club,both on and off stage.He became a keen student of local historyand was deeply

involved with the archaeological dig at Sedgeford, from its inception in 1986 until hisdeath in 2014. He amassed an extensivearchive of material on Heacham, its river valley, and the discoveries of the SedgefordHistorical & Archaeological Research Project(SHARP).

During his last illness, Chris and his family received unforgettable kindness and invaluableassistance from nurses of The Norfolk Hospice, Tapping House, for which reason hiswife Mary and younger son Kevin have organised this concert, to show their apprecia-tion for everything the hospice team did to helpduring those very sad days.

The concert will take place at the Town Hall,Hunstanton, on Saturday 27 February, startingat 7.30pm.

Mark Shea, Commercial Director at The Norfolk Hospice said, “It is a real privilege tohave the Royal Air Force Wyton Area Volun-

tary Band performing to raise funds for TheNorfolk Hospice. It has been wonderful towork with Kevin and Mary who have put somuch effort into organising the concert inmemory of Chris. As well as performing military classics, the band will also be performing songs from musicals such as Phantom of the Opera.”

For tickets, please phone the fundraising teamon 01485 601 701 or go to the websitewww.norfolkhospice.org.uk. Tickets are alsoavailable from the Tourist Information Centreat the Town Hall, Hunstanton.

Christmas was a very busy time for Arts North Norfolk following onfrom the busy Christmas Fayre to other events like the carol concert, butit was the Christmas pantomime that stole the show, selling out to a 95%capacity over the six performances. Rapport was built with its energeticpace, flowing audience engagement and its own interpretation of the bigtraditional elements.

Forty eight children and young people were involved in the show ac-companied by professional adult actors and 24 volunteers helped supportthe show in many ways from backstage help to make-up and front ofhouse duties. Arts North Norfolk’s own drama club and youth theatretook part in the show too and North Walsham Community Choir provided pre-recorded backing vocals for some of the songs. Dance forFun, a local dance troupe for children based in Smallburgh provided thebeautiful dance routines from ballet to disco.

Megan Howlett(15), who played Princess Jaelle, auditioned as part ofthe workshop programme with students of North Walsham High School.The role of Pinocchio was shared by Kyle Adams and Andrew Burrellwho were both 11 years old.

The organisation’s Director, Joseph Ballard, had written and directed theshow and also took part – in his first role as dame.“Playing dame is a huge responsibility and - dare I say it - Iam not theaverage mature age for a dame yet either so we explored how we couldmake Mama Gepetto engage with the audience in my own way. With 14costume changes and our modern interpretations of the traditional pan-tomime routines, we had the audiences with us all along. I want to heart-edly thank everyone involved in making the show a success.”

In response to the positive feedback for it sin-house productions, the organisation will be presenting an Easter Family Show of Goldilocksand the Three Bears.

Audience feedback included: “An excellent show - something foreveryone from ballet to soul musicand terrific gags.” (Mr Morley fromSouthrepps)

“We’re so lucky to have this ener-getic force in our town. All the actorswere brilliant and my family and Ienjoyed every bit of it – it made ourChristmas!” (Mrs Casing from NorthWalsham).

Following on from the success of itsfirst show in pantomime form in 2014with Beauty and the Beast, Pinocchiowas chosen as the key story. Pinocchio is not often performed as a pantomime and the original story is too complex for the Christmas season and family audiences so writer and director Joseph Ballard inserted pirates into the story as the villains - and also acted as a hookfor engagement of many children.

The show was a key element of the Inspiring Our Town project, an ArtsCouncil England supported programme of developing wider participation for the arts in North Norfolk.

Events coming up this spring include the Best of British Season withfilms and events, kicking off on 11 February with film Suffragette,which leads through to an Easter Fayre on 26 March and ShakespeareDay on 23 April. More listings can be found atwww.artsnorthnorfolk.org and customes are encouraged to pop into No.1 Market Place, North Walsham (open Wednesday to Saturday) or call01692 218060 to find out more.

ProbateLaw

One of the most frequent situations I find in the contested probate lawfield is where there has been a second (or third) marriage and the hus-band or wife (or both) have children from their previous marriages. Forwhatever reason, the husband and wife prepare Wills, perhaps later intheir lives, and exclude a child. It is remarkable how often this happens. You can understand how such a situation may arise. There are familydisagreements and as the child grows up, becomes an adult and has theirown life, they become distant and disconnected from their parent.

That child may have had the expectation all through their life that theywould inherit money from mum or dad and it is not until the last Willand Testament is read that the child finds out that they are excluded.They are then looking for advice about what they can do next. When aclient like this came to me recently, the first thing we did was examinethe Will. As a specialist contested probate solicitor, I am looking to see ifthe Will might, for some reason, be invalid. Many are, particularly ifthey are DIY internet wills or prepared by an online Will Writer. It iseasy to get the signing of a Will wrong and this is a way to show it is invalid. I consider the signature and the signatures of the witnesses.

I will also start to ask questions about the circumstances of the draftingof the Will and who was present , for example, was it the person whostands to benefit who acted as a witness. In this case, everything ap-peared to be in order and a Will prepared up by a solicitor is likely to bedone correctly.

I also look to see whether there has been a possibility ofundue influence, although this can be difficult to prove. Itis possible to overturn a Will if it is clear it has been madeunder duress. Questions can then be asked about the ca-pacity of the person. Did they understand what they weredoing? Was there any dementia or depression?

In this case, all those issues seemed to be in order and theWill appeared to be valid. The next aspect to look at iswhether there is an Inheritance Act claim. This is wherethe Will did not give reasonable financial provision tosomeone who might have expected it, for example, a spouse or partneror a child or dependant. A claim can be brought in those circumstances.In the case I was advising on, the child was now an adult and she wasworking and supporting herself comfortably. Unfortunately, there was not anything else she could do tochallenge what seemed to her to be an unfair situation.

The lesson to draw from this? I think it is to talk to your family, be asopen as possible about your Will and what you want to happen with yourassets. It should not have been a surprise to this client and it was onlyafter her father died that she discovered her ideas of what would be leftto her were wrong. She, perhaps, could have been saved a lot ofheartache if she had only known in advance, hard as that might havebeen at the time.

In other cases, we succeed in overturning wills or making InheritanceAct claims, but after the event it takes a lot of hard work and time to dealwith such situations, which could be avoided.

At Clapham & Collinge we can provide you with all of the necessary information, support an d legal advice on Will disputes and how they canbe resolved. If you require advice on Will disputes please contactTammy Parnell on 01263 820468 or email [email protected] .If you require advice on any other legal matter please contact Clapham& Collinge Solicitors on 01263 823398 or email [email protected]

MARE AND FOAL RESCUEDFROM HADDISCOERedwings Horse Sanctuary concerned forfoal’s future

On Monday 11 January, Redwings’ SeniorField Officer Julie Harding attended a fieldnear Haddiscoe following a call to the charity’swelfare line. On attending the site, a piebaldcob mare was discovered with a very sicklyfoal at foot.

Requiring immediate veterinary attention andwith the help of Redwings’ Senior Welfare Veterinary Surgeon Nic de Brauwere andRSPCA Inspector Ben Kirby, the foal was removed with the mare and taken to Redwings’ Reception Centre.

“It was essential that the foal was taken to asafe environment for treatment,” reflectedJulie, “and we couldn’t have done this withoutnearby welfare charity Horse Rescue Fund whowe called upon for help in transporting thehorses to our Reception Centre.

“They helped us load the two relatively unhan-dled horses, drove them to our centre and evenstayed to assist our vets in setting up the treatment for the horses. Their help with thisurgent case was invaluable and we cannotthank them enough”.

Once at Redwings’ Reception Centre, Nic – together with Welfare Veterinary SurgeonNicola Berryman – provided care to the mareand foal through the night. “We’re very concerned about this young foal and diagnosis

for his current condition is underway,” commented Nic.

This case comes just months after a similarmare and foal rescue by Redwings late lastyear. In October 2015, the charity rescued amare with a six-week-old foal at foot found onfarmland near Harleston. The pair – namedStar and Rocket by the Sanctuary – were bothextremely thin and Star was in such a severestate of neglect that she sadly died less thantwo weeks after her rescue.

Investigations into this recent rescue are ongoing, but if you would like to help support Redwings’ care for this foal and his mother,you can donate by texting “HORS30 £5” to70070 or visit www.redwings.org.uk.

Why English law is goodWritten by Miranda Marshall – Director at Hayes +Storr

Two recent but very different events have led me to write this articleon how lucky we all are to have the English legal system. The firstwas, prosaically, a seminar on European succession law (in Norwich)and the other was reading an article on current problems with theIndian legal system (in India).

Let me start closest to home. The European Succession Regulations,which came in this August, and to which the UK has not signed up,allow a national of an EU state to choose the law which should govern the administration of their estate upon death. In addition tothe forced-heirship rules, other foreign anomalies worth noting are:that marriage does not revoke a Will (including in Scotland, wherethe birth of a first child can do so); that in Italy lifetime gifts to children must be brought into account in distributing the estate upondeath; and, that one can sign to forgo one’s inheritance (neverstraight-forward in fact and law, especially where some time haselapsed). Whereas one can request that English law applies to onesassets in other EU countries, because many civil law countries do notrecognise trusts, seeking to apply an English Will containing a trustto EU assets may be complex and incur a double tax charge.

So, what about India? Well, when the British left India in 1947,amongst the systems and structures that ‘we’ left behind was that ofthe English legal system. However, in the 69 years since then therehas been much divergence. The legal principles remain but the Indian Courts and the implementation of the decisions, apparently,leave much to be desired. On the principle of ‘justice delayed is justice denied’ the Indian system would appear to be failing. It takesyears for a case to be heard and the system has become unwieldy andinefficient. Nine judges sit on cases heard in their Supreme Courtand all nine of them give a judgement. Such judgements, when published, are sometimes as long as 900 pages for a single case. As

cases take so long to be heard andeven longer for the decisions to beenforced, there is a tendency for litigants to take matters into theirown hands rather than wait anylonger for justice to be delivered.

The English legal system is a highearner for the English economy. Litigants and companies from overseas come here to use our legalsystems and our Courts. Rather thanthe codified rigid laws of Civil Lawcountries, we have the concept of‘equity’, which combined with ourlaw of trusts and flexibility in relation to Wills and property manage-ment, make our system highly desirable.

Yes, there is much to improve here in England. Our legal system iscreaking with antiquated IT in the Courts and the threat of closureof our some Courts (King’s Lynn, being our local cause célèbre).However, we should appreciate what we have: it could be infinitelyworse.

Every effort is made to ensure that thelaw referred to is correct at the date of publication and to avoid anystatement which may mislead.

Screen-next-the-SeaScreen-next-the-Sea moved successfully into the new venue at AldermanPeel High School, Market Lane, Wells-next-the-Sea on 16 January witha live via satellite screening of ‘Les Pecheurs de Perles’ by Bizet fromthe Metropolitan Opera, New York. This was quickly followed by thefirst Monday night film of 2016 which was the hugely popular ‘Suffragette’. Two women in the audience had mothers who were involved in the suffragette movement and they were both impressed withthe film, particularly as it included some archival news footage.

We are very grateful to the Headmaster and Governors of the school fortheir support as school venue is proving very flexible for everyone. Wehave people who love the balcony, others love sitting at the large roundtables on the ground floor and yet others bring their own garden foldingchairs and sit where they want! There was a record audience of 111 forthe first Monday night screening.

We still run a bar, thanks to our tireless team of committee members, so

beer, white and red wine, coffee, tea and herbals will be on offer as usualbefore the films as well as at the Live via Satellite events during the intervals.

The whole procedure has been a logistical challenge, not least the amazing projectionists team who have laboured many hours setting upthe satellite dish, hearing loop system as well as the projector itself andintegrating the whole system inside the schoolhall.

There are some interestingfilms, plays and operas anda Matthew Bourne balletcoming up in February sotake a look at our websitewww.wells-cinema.com fordetails and tickets or phone01328 710885
