SHROPSHIRE

February – April 2014

Dear Flicks Fan,It gives us great pleasure to present to you our spring brochure of Flicks in the Sticks screenings. We have some great fi lms on offer and sincerely hope that you are able to attend a screening or two, and taste the delights of fi lms in village halls: local, affordable, professional and welcoming.

In the climate of cutbacks and economic restraint, we are pleased to report that Flicks in the Sticks is looking like it can continue its work delivering cinema to rural venues for the foreseeable future. Our funders, which include the BFI and local councils, really appreciate the service we offer and the value for money it delivers. Flicks’ success and sustainability is built upon the thousands of volunteer hours our local promoters put in, and the support and enthusiasm of you, our audiences, so THANK YOU ALL!

One audience member who contacted us puts it well: “Totally adore the experience – so much so that we have not been to a multiplex since we moved to Shropshire, and all the friends and family we have introduced to this think it’s the bee’s knees!”
