PUPILS at Wyvern School, in Chickerell Road, Weymouth, watched school learning support assistant Geoff King being presented with free tickets for the first UK staging of Child of Promise.

The musical is due to be shown at Weymouth Pavilion on November 28 and 30.

Ian Garland, at the piano, head of music at Weymouth Baptist Church, organised the show and the cast has been recruited from church congregations in Weymouth, Portland and Dorchester.

School children are invited to see a matinee of the show.
