This year film society is making a number of new changes. Basically, you will be getting more for your money and there will be a lot more opportunities to do something different.
A new year, and new presidents. However this year we have decided to elect for a coalition instead of the usual President/Vice President roles. This means you get two people, twice as dedicated, thinking up twice as many great ideas! This cheeky little news article is just to let you all know exactly what we have planned:
Democracy:
We have decided as a way to avoid any hard feelings that this year all of our film screenings (excpet the special occasions e.g. Christmas, Halloween etc.) will be put to a public vote. Each week as people arrive, their names will be put into a hat. They then have until the end of the night to let us know their five quirky choices which we will then put up for public vote on our Facebook page. Some of these may be requested to be themed, but this is to be decided. We want our members to decide!
DVD Library:
We will be creating a new DVD library for all of our members to use. This will be a seperate Facebook page, on which we will list all the DVD's we have available. You can then request to borrow them for a week and hopefully we will have a lot to choose from! This means the DVD's for each screening are not being wasted and if you miss one, you can always catch up! It's also quite a legacy project as the library will grow and grow over time.
Variety of Social Activties:
We also plan to have a greater variety of social activites this year. We will be organising society trips to local cinemas and film events. We will also be running a more regular quiz, amongst other screening events. We were also looking to run a few more joint screenings with other societies and movie marathons for charity.
We have a lot more ideas, but these are the main ones. Hopefully Film Soc 2015/16 will be one to rememeber!
