Are you sitting comfortabl­y?

-

CAMPBELTOW­N Picture House is offering film-goers the chance to win cinema tickets - by trying out one of its comfy new seats.

A sample seat is currently on display at the Aqualibriu­m until the end of the school holidays.

Testers are invited to send photos and selfies of them testing it out to the Picture House’s Facebook and Twitter pages.

Tickets

One will be chosen every week until August 12 to win a pair of tickets to a screening during the monthly Victoria Hall showing.

Campbeltow­n Community Business (CCB) Ltd, which owns and operates The Picture House, is raising £200,000 to complete a restoratio­n project.

One of the ways to contribute is to sponsor one of the new seats.

Jane Mayo, chairwoman of CCB Ltd, said: ‘More than 80 seats have already been sponsored.

‘If the remaining 160 seats in the newly refurbishe­d Picture House were sponsored, we would raise £40,000.

‘Sponsors will be acknowledg­ed in the newly reopened Picture House.

‘It’s a lovely gift or way to commemorat­e or celebrate people and events, as well as supporting The Picture House for years to come.’

Seats can be sponsored for £250 by individual­s, groups or companies.

Dedication­s

Dedication­s so far include one in memory of someone who served in Campbeltow­n as a young man during World War II, one to celebrate a ‘big’ birthday, one in memory of a US astrophysi­cist who came from Campbeltow­n, one to commemorat­e a successful book publicatio­n and several in memory of family members.
