Mini Heat Wave Is Over

THE weather is in stark contrast to March's mini-heat wave; the UK has returned to its normal wintery weather. The freak weather we all enjoyed was not truly the start of the spring in metrological terms; even though it was the Vernal Equinox, or Start of Spring, as calculated via the shape of the Earth's orbit. It is in fact late April when Spring really sets in the UK. Interestingly it is statistically more likely to snow at Easter than Christmas, due to water temperatures in the sea being colder. It takes longer for water to heat up, and that means we are more likely to have colder weather at the start of the year than at the end of it! But don't rush out to the bookies to place a bet and you don't need to start singing:- "I'm dreaming of a white Easter" just yet as, for many of us, the temperatures will climb according to forecasters, before Easter Day.

All this leaves many asking, will we be in for a water shortage later in the year, if the mini heat wave was sign of things to come!  Email you views to us and let us know what you think will happen. Will you are readers be better at long term prediction than the Met Office?

The Preston Passion

FREE Tickets for The Preston Passion, a major live event on Good Friday, 6 April 2012, presented by Fern Britton have been released. A unique collaboration between the BBC and Preston Guild, The Preston Passion is a contemporary and dramatic re-telling of the Passion story, featuring an exciting combination of live performance and spectacle, coupled with innovative pre-recorded drama, which will be broadcast live on BBC One.

There will be 2 kinds of tickets available for anyone wishing to attend, but tickets are going fast and are limited!

An ACTIVE ticket is for members of the audience who would like the opportunity to join in the televised dance moves for the final song, ‘You Got the Love’ sung live by Heather Small. The basic dance moves video tutorial for this will be available to view online via:- www.PrestonGuild2012.com .

A SPECTATOR ticket is also available, which will mean members of the public will part of the televised audience for the whole event. 1000 spectator tickets have been released.

Tickets are free of charge and can be ordered online. Telephone bookings can be made via:- 0845 344 2012 or from Preston Guild Hall Box Office on Lancaster Road, Preston, PR1 1HT.  Gates to the event held on the west side of Preston Bus Station open from 10.30am on Friday, 6 April 2012, and the latest admittance will be at 11:30am.
