Remembering the Oscars, staring
Strictly Come Dancing’s Aljaž Škorjanec and Janette Manrara, is a celebration of the Golden Age of Hollywood. With the originally intended 41-date UK theatre tour curtailed for two consecutive years because of the pandemic, Škorjanec and Manrara were desperate not to disappoint fans. The show’s producers, Steven Howard for The TCB Group and David Shepherd from Imagine This Live, looked for alternative solutions. With streamed performances gaining increasing success, they turned to video production specialist iMAG Displays to help them bring the sparkling show to life in a series of streamed performances, which aired for three weeks from 27 March.

RESIDENTS across Dorset are being offered the chance a step into the ring – and help deliver a knockout blow to cancer. Ultra White Collar Boxing (UWCB), the organisation behind the effort, has set a target of raising £1 million for Cancer Research. It has already raised more than £360,000 for the charity in Bournemouth, after a similar initiative. Participants are given eight weeks of gym-based training under the guidance of experienced coaches before taking part in a bout, of three two-minute rounds, in front of hundreds of their friends, family, and colleagues at the Bournemouth International Centre on July 10. They don t have to pay a penny to train for the event, but those taking part are asked to raise a minimum of £50 for Cancer Research.
Paul Douglas, Dorset HealthCare’s Covid-19 vaccination programme senior manager, said: “Since we have been operating the COVID-19 vaccination centre at the Bournemouth International Centre, our team has worked very hard, with great enthusiasm. I am very sorry to hear that one of our hard-working nursing team members recently had their e-bike stolen when working. “It had been secured to some railings outside an entrance to the BIC with two padlocks and was the prize possession of its owner, who had saved for some considerable time to buy it as his means of transport to work. “Its theft left its owner devastated by the loss. I cannot believe that someone would chose to carry out such an act against a person who is doing his very best to help protect the community.”
