Xscape
 Xscape opened its new leisure facility at Glasshoughton on October 9th when P-Y Gerbeau officiated at a grand opening ceremony attended by over 6000 people. The excited throng were entertained with everything from skiing and snow boarding displays to fire-eaters and a Disney Parade, the whole occasion being topped off with an amazing fireworks display.
Waystone took the opportunity to entertain all those members of the local community as well as the professionals who had helped and participated in the wider Glasshoughton Regeneration Project. A continuous video show provided a  historical record of all the work carried out on the scheme and visitors enjoyed the delights of superb catering provided by Bertie's of Elland.
