Whilst some aspects of the new Arts Centre are being done with bells and whistles (so's to speak), other areas are going to be started on a shoe string.

We're desperately in need of any donations for the music groups and orchestras that we hope to set up - if you have any discarded instruments, I'll happily come and collect and give you free tickets to one of our first shows.

Musical instuments - anything really from tambourines to keyboards, recorders to drums.

We're also looking for someone with time on their hand to go out searching for advertising for us. We need sponsors for plays and workshops and the clubs - for a set fee, sponsors can get their name associated with the Arts Centre. What we really need is someone with the time to start approaching sponsors and advertisers - commission will be offered.

Someone with time for leaflet drops and poster deliveries.

Miscellaneous - if you have something that you think might be useful, we'd love to hear from you.
