Request to run a Cinema in the Corn Exchange

To receive and consider the report of the Venue Manager.

Minutes:

The Committee received and considered the report of the Venue Manager on the proposal to run a cinema in the Corn Exchange.  Mr Richards had proposed that he would hire the films and provide the equipment and the Town Council would run everything else including ticket sales.  The profits would be split 50/50 after Mr Richards had paid for the hire of the film – around £150- £190.  The Venue Manager felt that all the risk would be for the Town Council as it would be a Town Council event.  Officers would need to work out capacity and a price point.

 

Members expressed some concern as there had been plans for the Corn Exchange to run cinema events independently as part of its programme.

 

RESOLVED:          that the report be noted and that the proposal from Mr Richards be referred to the next meeting of the Corn Exchange Working Party on 7 December 2020.
