IN reply to Susan Earnshaws letter labelling the 'Regal Cinema' a white elephant, we cannot remember anyone being lumbered with the cinema.

If this lady came to watch a film she would be greeted with a smile, served by a polite staff and see a first class performance.

The Regal may be in need of a coat of paint but what it lacks on the outside it certainly makes up for when you watch a film on our screen.

The support we have had from the people in Evesham has overwhelmed us.

The Regal has been showing films in Port Street for 70 years this year. We hope you're business lasts that long.

Lets face it at 70 everything has cracks and lines wouldn't you agree.
