YOUNG people from the CHINA (Charities in need appeal) group are in the final stages of rehearsal for their next show.

The performance of Bugsy Malone takes place at Oswaldtwistle Civic Theatre and organisers say the youngsters are having great fun dressing up in the period costumes.

This fun, custard pie, song and dance extravaganza will be performed at the theatre from February 10 to 13.

Organisers said they are in need of old fashioned wooden crates to dress the set. If anyone has any that they wouldn’t mind donating they would be appreciated.
