THERE are only a few tickets, at £13.50 each, left for the BEN Amateur Stage Awards evening which this year is being held in conjunction with the Bolton Amateur Theatre Societies' dinner.

Telephone Harold Hulton on 01204 842678 if you want to join us on Friday, September 13, at the Albert Halls, Bolton.

Every amateur production reviewed by the BEN has been considered for the awards and societies do not have to enter.

The awards will be made in three categories: Best Musical, Best Drama and Special section.

There will be two nominations and a winner in each category and these will be announced during the evening.
