Up until now, our programme has always been presented via the medium of DVD or Blu-ray, but since Covid we’ve noticed that the increasing popularity of streaming means that some films are now only available as downloads.

We do have the capability to show downloads, but this will be the first time our main feature has been sourced this way.

Obviously we’ll try to avoid too many blunders, but the process is different to just pressing the play button like we usually do (and we sometimes can’t even manage to do that properly) so please be patient.

We’ve tested our systems, it does seem to work and hopefully, everything will be alright on the night, but just in case it isn’t, we may have to alter the programme.

The high demand for tickets to Mrs Harris Goes to Paris meant we had to turn away a significant number of people, including many members who were unable to get in.

We’ve discussed this and considered ways we could avoid this happening in future. The theatre only has 118 seats so we can’t guarantee that no-one will be disappointed again, but we hope these measures will help alleviate future disappointment.

We’ve decided the following:

• Membership will be limited to 70. Members effectively pay half price and so we need the additional income from non members to allow us to continue. That income is what allows us to pay the licence fees for each film, theatre hire, refreshments and the purchase and maintenance of equipment.
• Because so many members were unable to gain entry to the first showing of Mrs Harris Goes to Paris, we’ve decided that advance booking will be limited to members only.
• If you’ve booked seats you MUST attend by 7.15 to collect your tickets.
• If you haven’t arrived by 7.15, your tickets will be made available to non members and there will be no exceptions to the rule. If you arrive late and there are no non members, however, then you’ll still be able to collect your tickets.

We hope that everyone appreciates that the decision we’ve made is to try to avoid a repeat of what happened at Mrs Harris Goes to Paris and so ensure everyone continues to turn up and enjoy their evening out.

Denbigh Film Club Committee, March 2023.
