Young people in Badersfield are trialling a community cinema event at The Battle of Britain Memorial Hall in December. The event aims to bring a sense of community and activity to the village of Badersfield, formerly RAF Coltishall, after the closure of the RAF base in 2006. The event will be hosted by Colin Clarke, 24, with the support of Creative Arts East as part of the somewhereto_ project.
 
The event presenting Water for Elephants (cert. 12A) at 7pm takes place on Sunday 4th December at the newly refurbished hall on Lamas Road, for the very reasonable introductory price of £3.50 per ticket. Colin says, “I hope that our event will encourage and inspire local residents to use the hall for a wider range of new and traditional community activities and events, and I am looking forward to providing this community with access to one of the latest films in an atmospheric, cinematic environment.”
 
Colin has achieved his ambitions with help from somewhereto_, a nationwide project funded by Legacy Trust UK. somewhereto_ aims to match young people aged 16-25 with the space they need to do the things they love within sport, culture and the arts. Colin is currently unemployed but using his time wisely by undertaking a placement with Creative Arts East, the somewhereto_ regional coordinator for the east, to help him make the most of this experience.
