Good Times helps rehab centre

The promoters of Good Times, The Quorum, has always taken a real concern in the Sir John Golding Rehabilitation Centre, and, as such, had made it their point of duty to allocate a portion of the revenue received from Good Times to the centre.

With all this in mind, patrons are encouraged to bring donations such as books and other necessities when Good Times Funky Revolution comes to Mas Camp, Oxford Road, on Saturday, August 30.

Janet believes in Pleasure Principle

R'n'B diva Janet Jackson is taking a page from Jennifer Lopez's empire-expanding book and has announced plans to launch Pleasure Principle, her own line of lingerie, come November.
