Meet the stars at auction dinner

Mar 25 2003 By The Huddersfield Daily Examiner

FILM and TV lovers still have time to book their place at a Huddersfield dinner auction tomorrow due to be attended by some of TV's best-loved soap stars.

Actors and actresses will be gathering at the Cedar Court Hotel, Ainley Top, on Wednesday to promote a new Yorkshire film, Dream Catcher, by Ken Kitson.

The romantic comedy, set in West Yorkshire, tells the story of 40-year-old Wild West enthusiast Will Case, played by Mr Kitson, who has trouble getting along in life because of his obsession.

Mr Kitson, who has played a policeman in Last of The Summer Wine for 23 years, is bringing some of his showbiz friends to the Cedar Court event.

Chris Chittle, Emmerdale's Eric Pollard, will be running an auction at the event and Coronation Street's Vera Duckworth, actress Liz Dawn, will be among the stars attending.

Memorabilia from the world of TV, film and sport will be auctioned to pay for filming costs.

Tickets for tomorrow's event, starting at 7.30pm, cost £45 and are available from Mr Kitson on 01274 468331 or 07711235989.
