We started the new season with a fresh batch of films to satisfy your appetite for good films. We have also now introduced our DVD Library. Thank you to those who have already made use of this new facility. We believe that this will be a valuable facility to help us make financial provision towards the purchase of new equipment when needed. How does it work?
But there’s more………….
As we all know, a good percentage of films produced, start life as books which become popular reads. November’s film “To Kill a Mocking Bird” became a classic book, even being used in schools, albeit that this was Harper Lee’s only book. So what has this to do with WFS?
We want you to consider donating books that you have which have become the subject of films. “Books of theMovie” will be added to our DVD table starting with our November screening. So, on the run up to Christmas this is the ideal opportunity to do a major tidy-up of books and DVDs.
We hope that you agree that this is a great new way to help us keep WFS sound for future members and guests. If you have any questions please contact me at john@wincantonfilm.co.uk.
