Vote for the Picture House!

[Kintyre Forum News]

Yes, great news, especially competing against communities with substantially larger population.

It has just been announced on the RBS Community Force website that we have won £6,000 to go towards our new digital projection equipment. Thank you and all those you dragooned into helping so very much for your support. It was only because each one of you bothered that we are in this position. You had to be extremely determined to jump through all the necessary hoops to achieve the chance to vote, but it all paid off. The rest of the Board of Campbeltown Community Business Ltd. (The Picture House) join me in thanking you most sincerely. What a fillip and credit for our small town, you have kept this cinema going as a community business for over 20 years. It was touch and go on the last morning of voting, our rivals were racing up behind our score, 50 behind us the night before, then 30 first thing in the morning and we reckon we finished up with 443 votes, about 18 ahead of our pursuer!

Please keep an eye on our website www.weepictures.co.uk for further news and developments in The Centenary Project. And do come and see a film! The next First Monday will be 'The Help' and 'Tintin' is also on the horizon.

Glad the others didn't catch up and pass our number of votes. That would have been gutting right at the end.

Congratulations to the Picture House
