Meeting with The Film Club Committee

We had a very encouraging meeting with the Broughton Film Club Committee yesterday afternoon at the Square cafe. Members Jane, Richard, Paul, Malcolm and David have offered their full support for the festival and are all keen to get on board with the development over these coming months.

It was a real pleasure to talk to people who volunteer their time to a community project like the Film Club. Since they have been running the club for over four years now, they are able to offer us lots of advice on areas such as pricing tickets, audience development and identifying groups of people they'd like to encourage to come along to the festival who don't normally attend film club events.

After the meeting Richard dropped off a film called 'Behind The Scenes; Farmers' Diaries From England's Lake District', which we'll be watching this week and are hoping to include in the programme.

The committee have kindly given permission for us to use the DVD projector and screen for our focus groups in August, September and October so we can start to get a feel of which films will work best in the hall.

We both left the meeting feeling very excited with lots of new ideas on how we can engage with a wider audience and hopefully get a full house during the festival!
