CC49 shows about 6 films a year in the school holidays. The film will be a U or PG and be on general release. During half terms, the film will be shown on the Wednesday afternoon. During the summer and Easter holidays a film will be shown on a Wednesday but you will need to check which one (though we tend to aim for the first Wednesday). We have also shown a film on the last Saturday before Christmas for the last couple of years at St. Barnabas church, Weeke (okay, last year it was at Wesley Methodist because St. B’s was booked).
The official start time is 3:30pm at Weeke Community Centre, but we are always there from 3pm setting up. We will be finished by 5:30pm so please be there to collect your child/children by then. Parents do not have to stay but are welcome to if they wish. Coming and going is fine, we don’t stress about it. Everyone is signed in so if we have to call you back then we can do. Again, it’s fine.
We have an annual video license which grants us the right to show the films. However, the terms of the license mean that we cannot advertise the title of the film or charge an admission fee of any kind. We do however provide (free) fruit juice and ice cream half way through the film. Parents are offered tea or coffee (ice cream is available too!).
CC49 is part of our work to help and support the community in north Winchester.
CC49 is generally on the first Wednesday of a school holiday (as per the Hampshire County Council web site).
