The Saturday stalls in the cinema foyer are proving to be very be very popular, and useful. Lots of interest, a number of new Friends, healthy sales of our key fobs, postcards and T shirts and useful amounts of money raised, through merchandise and also a raffle on the day. We'll be doing these as often as we can, including this coming Saturday (17th).
The more people we have who can help out for an hour or two now and then, the easier it will be to keep these going, and to build momentum for the campaign. It's fun, sociable, easy, gives you a good feeling, a chance to find out more, to spread the word and engage people in thinking how good it would be to have cinema and cafe bar bringing life to the centre of the town throughout the day. It even gives you somewhere to park your bags while doing your shopping!
Another date for your diary - we'll also be running a stall at the Aberfeldy show on Sat Aug 14th and will be looking for help both to run it and to help set up and take it down again.
So, why not come along soon or get in touch to add your name to the list of volunteers?
And in other news ... we've now got a video tour of the inside of the Birks, as it was when we first took over the building at the end of 2009 (courtesy of Willie Leszke). We found lots of poignant reminders of its former glory, from old equipment, to film scraps, to the great proscenium arch and drapes of the old screen, complete with the classic 'B' logo. You can see it on YouTube.
