Three movie mad thirty somethings from Abergavenny have been busy fund-raising to keep their favourite cinema open.

Lucy Harris, Carol Powell and Sarah Lapping, who all live at Holywell Road, raised £172.66 towards the Market Hall cinema in Brynmawr by organising a tombola for friends, family and members of the local community.

Charlotte Jones, support worker for Reach, said all three loved going to the cinema and were ‘surprised and pleased’ by the amount they had managed to raise.
