We were pleased to welcome personalities from the world of broadcasting to judge one of our competitions.
Recently we seem to have had quite a bit of exposure in the news having appeared in The Yorkshire Evening Post and in the Telegraph and Argus. But getting to an even larger audience our society and our cinema was featured on ITV Yorkshire's "Calendar"on 7th July 2006.
