A MOVIE first is being held by a Rotary club to try to raise £20,000 to boost the coffers of Help for Heroes.

Ripon Rotary Rowells Club is to stage the city’s first drive in movie with a screening of the Abba-inspired hit Mamma Mia!

The film is to be show at Ripon Racecourse and there will other attractions on offer too.

The evening starts at 5pm with music from Stray FM and Mamma Mia! will begin screening around 8pm.

Entry is £25 per car or £5 by foot and it is anticipated the show on Saturday, May 8, will be a sell-out.

Those on foot will need a transistor radio to tune into a radio frequency to be able to listen to the film.

The frequency, and tickets, can be obtained from Ripon Travel, in Ripon or Knaresborough, or from visiting www.rowelsrotary.co.uk.
