Sir.-It was indeed sad news that the Haymarket Theatre must temporarily close. The community will lose, for the time being, a great asset.

However, Basingstoke's Central Studio is still very much alive with a full programme of events to suit all tastes.

In addition to this is an offer to Haymarket members of a two-for-one offer on all evening drama and dance shows.

If anyone would like a copy of the Central Studio brochure, they shoule contact the box office on 01256 418318 and we will be happy to furnish them with a copy.

We are looking forward to welcoming many new patrons to Central Studio.
