Congratulations to those involved in the campaign to Save the David Lean Cinema from extinction.
As you may know, the local Council closed our wonderful Croydon Clocktower and the integral David Lean cinema back in April. The politicians in charge at the Council have tried to spin that the David Lean is alive and well, just being moved across the road to the Fairfield Halls.
Ah yes, the Fairfield Halls – that small, intimate venue, with an art house film offering (not). Their current film programme includes the King’s Speech and The Young Victoria. Great films, but hardly the daily offering that was programme of the David Lean.
Time to support the campaign and make the Council reverse this dreadful cut.
Full details on this from the people at Inside Croydon
- The first meeting of the Save the David Lean Cinema Campaign is next Wednesday, June 22, from 6.30pm upstairs at the Green Dragon pub on the High Street (thanks to the nice people at the Dragon, at no hire charge to the organisers).
