What do I have to do if I want to join?WOMAN: Well, we book you in for an assessment with an instructor, who will show you how to use all the equipment. If you want to organize a trial session and look around the centre, you’ll need to speak to David Kynchley.MAN: Hmm. Could you spell that please?WOMAN: Yes, David KYNCHLEY. I’ll give you his direct line number. It’s ohfourfiveeightninefivethreedouble one.MAN: Thanks.WOMAN: Thank you for calling Kingswell Club.SECTION 2MAN: And here on Radio Rivenden we have Lynne Rawley, the Public Relations Officer of our own Rivenden City Theatre. Hello, Lynne.LYNNE: Hello.MAN: Now, the theatre is reopening soon after its threeyear redevelopment program, isn’t it?LYNNE: That’s right, and there are a lot of improvements. The first thing people will see when they go in is that the foyer has been repainted in the original green and gold. Then the box office has been reoriented with its own access form the side of the building instead of through the foyer, which means it can be open longer hours, and has more space, too. The shop that used to be in the foyer, which sold books and CDs, is the one part of the redevelopment which isn’t yet plete. The plan is to find new premises for it near the theatre, and we’ve had difficulty finding somewhere suitable. We hope to reopen the shop in the next few months.MAN: Will audiences find any difference in the auditorium?LYNNE: Yes, we’ve increased the legroom between the rows. This means that there are now fewer seats but we’re sure audiences will be much happier. And we’ve installed air conditioning, so it won’t get so hot and stuffy. We already had a few seats which were suitable for wheelchair users, and now there are twice as many, which we hope will meet demand. Something else that will benefit audiences is the new lifts. The two we used to have were small and slow. They’ve now gone, and we’ve got much more efficient ones.MAN: Anything for the performers?LYNNE: Yes, we’ve made a number of improvements backstage. The small dark dressing rooms we used to have have been converted into two large airy rooms, so they’re much more fortable now. And the stateoftheart electronic sound and lighting systems have been installed.MAN: OK, so what’s the first play that audiences can see when the theatre reopens?LYNNE: We’ve got a very exciting production of Peter Shaffer’s Royal Hunt of the Sun, which is currently touring the country. That starts on October the 13th and runs till the 19th. We’re experimenting bit with the time the curtain goes up. We used to start all our performances at , but that made it difficult for people to go home by public transport, so instead we’re beginning at 7. Because at , when it finished, there are still buses running. Tickets are already selling fast. The Friday and Saturday performances sold out almost immediately and, now there are only tickets for Monday and Thursday.MAN: How much are they?LYNNE: We’ve introduced a simpler price structure. Ticket prices used to range from 163。50 joining fee. The annual fee is 163。300. Does that sound more like what you want?MAN: Well, it’s still rather more expensive than I thought. I’m a student here in England and I’m only here for six months.WOMAN: Ah, then the Bronze scheme would probably suit you best.MAN: How is that different?WOMAN: Well, some of the facilities have restricted use.MAN: And do I have to pay for classes?WOMAN: Yes, it’s 163。250—it’s 163。s savings should be in lowrisk investments but for the rest, financial advisors often advise taking some wellinformed risks.

Even women in their early twenties need to think about pensions, for example, and with increasing numbers of women in professional positions there are signs that this is beginning to happen. Then research also suggests that women avoid dealing effectively with their economic situation because of a lack of confidence. The best way for them to overe this is by getting themselves properly informed so they are less dependent on other people39。s consider this for a moment. To start with, it is a fact that throughout the world, women are likely to live many years longer than men, so they need money to support them during this time. Since women are likely to be the ones left without a partner in old age, they may therefore have to pay for nursing care, because they don39。re earning, they39。s look at what men and women actually save for.
