We experimented with a later start time of 9.00pm for the film in April (and realised that you do not like to be out late). Future screenings have therefore been returned to the time of 7.00pm.
However, as the nights have got lighter we have been battling with increased light through the magnificent windows of the church. This means that the screen is difficult to see. The cinema is therefore taking a break over the summer months, but we will be back hopefully in September with a new season of films for people of all ages and abilities to see.
In the interim, we are in the process of raising funds for blackout curtains/blinds and if you know anyone who could help please do point them in our direction. Blackout blinds will enable us to show films at different times of the day and throughout the year, which will enable those with young families or those who are busy in the evening to join in with what we do.
Recently, Asda at Owlcotes have allowed us to be nominated for a possible community donation. A green token is given to shoppers if they spend over a certain amount of money. The shopper is then able to vote for the community project that they want the “pot of money” to go to. So if you do shop at Asda, please consider putting your token in the Calverley Community Cinema pot.
Thank you.
