September 2021
It was great to receive so many responses to our announcement to start showing films again in September. We are delighted that the majority of members have indicated they’d like to return.
After the months we’ve had watching films at home on TV screens, we feel it’s time to show a good film on a large screen, with quality sound, shared with an appreciative audience!
Our plan is therefore to open in a modest way by showing a single film on 25th September 2021, starting at 7.00pm (doors opening 6.30pm).
We will be showing “The Journey” that was scheduled for April 2020 and takes place during the 2006 Northern Ireland peace talks. It follows a car journey shared by Martin McGuinness (Colm Meaney) and Ian Paisley (Timothy Spall) and surprisingly it gives the kind of uplift we feel you will enjoy.
Remember, the first four meetings will be FREE for those members who paid for the 2019-2020 season!
Coffee and tea will not be served at this time as there will be no interval.
We’ve tried to answer comments made by members:
Can ventilation be improved?
No, as an independent school St Martin’s is not eligible for the CO2 monitors and air purifiers supplied free to State funded schools.
Will members be required to wear masks?
This is entirely up to the individual.
Will there be a Hygiene Station?
There will be a hand dispenser at the door.
What provision is being made for those unable or not planning to attend?
Naturally, it’s understandable that some members will not want to return right away. If there’s demand, and to be as inclusive as possible, we are thinking of purchasing additional DVD copies of the film that can be circulated. That way no one need feel left out. Please let us know.
We will keep a list of those members attending. We expect any member who shows Covid- 19 symptoms on the day to stay away.
