THE latest arts activity in Saltburn has started with a bang.
Local youth and community organiser Colin Grant, who is a keen drummer, suggested setting up a drumming group. This then inspired others to set up groups based on their own hobbies and interests.
The groups now come under the umbrella of East Cleveland Arts, which aims to showcase local talent and provide a marketplace to enable people wanting to learn new skills to link up with those prepared to teach them.
Saltburn Community and Arts Association's arts development promoter, Wilma Gardiner-Gill, said she was amazed at the wealth of talent in the Saltburn area.
"The whole idea just snowballed after the drummer's suggestion. Everything has happened in a matter of weeks and now we will be seeking charity status," she said.
Further details are available from Ms Gardiner-Gill on (01287) 626995, every day between noon and 3pm
