Ladies Charity Luncheon-In Support Of Tŷ Elis Counselling: A Charity Lunch has been arranged by Ty Elis Counselling Service for Saturday, March 3.

Porthcawl Amateur Operatic And Dramatic Society (PAODS): Check your diary for Thursday, April 26 - Saturday, April 28 and if there is nothing booked in, then why not get in touch with the PAODS Box Office on 01656 788148, or The Grand Pavilion Box Office 01656 815995.

Why? To book up for the Menkin, Steinkellner and Slater musical ‘Sister Act’ of course.

POADS are putting it on every evening between those dates, and there is a matinee on the Saturday.

When lively lounge singer Deloris Van Cartier (Whoopi Goldberg in the film) sees her mobster beau, Vince LaRocca (Harvey Keitel), commit murder, she is relocated for her protection.

Set up in the guise of a nun in a California convent, Deloris proceeds to upend the quiet lives of the resident sisters.

In an effort to keep her out of trouble, they assign Deloris to the convent’s choir, an ensemble that she soon turns into a vibrant and soulful act that gains widespread attention.

You’ve seen the film, you’ve heard the songs, now watch the show!.

Their productions are always of a very high almost professional standard.

Griffin Park Table Top Sale: This is held every Friday morning in Griffin Park Hall in New Road starting at 8am and finishing at 12.30pm.
