Downton Memorial Centre Fundraising Evening
If you love films, our next event is for you. It will also showcase our new projector and drop down screen and help us to raise funds for refurbishing the hall’s kitchen.
A Film Evening on Friday 24 April at 7.30pm (doors open 7pm)
In conjunction with Film Expo South, an organisation promoting and providing inspiration for independent filmmakers, you will be able to see:
- Five short films (45 mins in total) before the interval and
- One longer film (75 minutes) after the interval.
They cover a variety of genres – some are funny, others sad, poignant or thought provoking.
A licensed bar and refreshments will be available.
For more information, including further details of the films, see www.filmexposouth.com (go to ‘festival’).
