IMAX chairs find a new home

11:52am Saturday 23rd February 2013 in News By Julie Magee

CHAIRS from Bournemouth's former IMAX cinema have found a new home at the Shelley Theatre on Boscombe Manor.

Bournemouth East MP Tobias Ellwood and his four-year-old son Alex were among volunteers who helped rebuild the seats today (Sat).

The barely used seats, which are thought to be worth around £35,000, were unveiled during an open day at the historic building which is being restored to its former glory.

old news chairs were worth nothing they were nothing but scrap from Imax council spin perhaps better off asking why you bow and scrap to their every whim of the council

We've been hearing about how the Shelley Theatre is reopening for about 10 years now.....more broken promises from the Council.

We've been hearing about it because they need funds to complete the work maybe the council should just write them a cheque from council funds.

Well wonderway clearly has not seen the chairs and was not present to help put them together. What an ignorant comment

Another ignorant comment.... it has nothing to do with the council it is a privately run project on private property

What a lovely idea. This theatre could be of interest globally. I've written some scripts that are standing idle if anyone's interested.

It was the nightingale and not the lark
that sung on yonder tree oh let it be
the nightingale Romeo!
