Film times at The Picture House

[jillibabes]

This was raised at the AGM on Friday evening past. The last matinees shown had an average attendance of 14. The break even figure for the Picture House is 50 so I'm afraid it is doubtful

Thanks for that info, Malky, things have definitely changed since I was a girl then (shock, horror!!!)

From BBC website

"Work to restore Scotland's first cinema to its former glory is aiming to get underway later in the year.
The Hippodrome in Bo'ness, near Falkirk, opened in 1912 and operated as a cinema and then a bingo hall until it closed in the 1980s. It is hoped that funding from several organisations will help get the £1.7m project underway in October. The project aims to see the A-listed building reopen as a cinema and visitor centre in the middle of 2008. The move is at the heart of a £5m heritage initiative to restore the historic buildings of Bo'ness...."
