Would you like to take part in an acting masterclass with Hollyoaks star Stefan Booth (aka Jamie Nash)? Are you aged between 11 and 16 or do you know someone who is and who's free on Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 October 2003? BBC Oxford and Emmanuel Church in Bicester are joining forces to stage an event especially for young people in Bure Park. It's all in aid of Make a Difference Day, the UK's biggest day of volunteering. Over 75,000 people across the country will be involved in Make A Difference Day by giving their time to directly change communities for the better. Why Bure Park? Well, the results of a survey by Emmanuel Church - conducted on the housing estate - discovered that over 40% of residents surveyed believed that the top priority in the area was to provide something for local youth. BBC Oxford and CSV (Community Service Volunteers) listened to this and is running a two day drama workshop for young people aged 11-16 years in Bure Park Primary School on Wednesday 29 and Thursday 30 October 2003. Hollyoaks star Stefan Booth will be on hand to give some acting tips in the classes run by Tina Thomas and Jaspre Bark. And a team from Barclays bank will help build a set, with designer Hanna Wiggins. The workshops will end with a performance at the school at 19:00 on Thursday October 30. Tickets will be £2.50 each and money raised will go to World Vision, an international aid and development agency. Tickets will be available on the door. BBC Oxford will be covering the event, so there’s a good chance you could hear yourself on the radio, see your picture here on the web, or possibly on TV! Places are limited and commitment must be given for the full two days. To get an application form call the BBC Oxford Action Desk on 08459 311 222. The deadline for registration is Tuesday October 14 2003. Places are very limited so they will be given on a first come first served basis.
