Picture House News

[Kintyre Forum News]

On 26th May this year, the Picture House in Campbeltown will be 98 years old. With just two years to go until the centenary, plans are in hand to embark on an extensive conservation programme to ensure the survival of this historic cinema.

To raise funds, a DVD covering events during the final visit of HMS CAMPBELTOWN is going on sale from 26th May. With over 150 files of photographs, documents and video clips, this DVD covers the storyline of the visit and is a unique record of this historic occasion.

Costing £10 it can be bought from the cinema or Keith’s Newsagents on Main Street, and also at a coffee morning in aid of the cinema to be held on June 4th in the Red Cross Hall, Kirk Street, Campbeltown.

The DVD can also be ordered by post at a cost of £12 including postage and packing, from the following address: David Mayo, Bellgrove, High Askomil, Campbeltown, PA286EN with cheques made payable to 'CCB Centenary Project'
