The Tenbury Wells Floral Art Club held their 40th Anniversary show “A Celebration in Flowers” In the Regal Function room. This was a great success and really helped demonstrate how our partnership working with other local organisations is really beneficial to both parties.
The Regal also joined in with the National Heritage Open Day. Tours of the Regal were advertised locally and nationally, and quite a number were fully booked. The day was a great success and will be repeated again in the future.
We are currently planning to increase the usage of the community centre function room. Everyone is invited to the open morning next Saturday between 10am and 12pm to see great ideas on how the room can be used. We will be cross promoting from our stand at Applefest.
Tickets for our professional pantomime are selling very well, so if you want to come, buy your tickets soon.
We are also holding another party. After the success of our summer Cinderella birthday party, we have decided to hold a Christmas one. We will be showing the Muppets Christmas Carol, this will be a free event and I expect there will be cake.
Work is well underway planning the entertainment for the first quarter of 2014.
Amongst the many films on offer we will see the next installment of the Hobbit story with The Desolation of Smaug, and the eagerly awaited new Disney film, Saving Mr Banks starring Emma Thompson & Tom Hanks.
On the technical front, the new dimmer racks have now been commissioned giving greater flexibility in the way the lights are controlled for live shows. The new three phases supply to the stage is being used by the larger visiting shows, which has resolved the power failure problems.
We hope to start receiving DCP’s (Digital Cinema Packets - i.e Films) via the internet rather than by Courier within the next few months. Although film is now digital, it currently moves around the country on hard drives. The technology now exists to distribute the majority of films over the internet, and then be stored locally until played. We hope to be amongst the first independent cinemas to adopt this new technology.
