Notes of Appreciation - Thank you everyone who supported the Fest and thanks to everyone who has given us enthusiastic feedback!
What a great day you put on for us all.
The idea of a collection of 'fun' films was brilliant and the films from the clubs fitted the theme admirably. I though your two presenters, with their bright and breezy style, were excellent and enabled the afternoon to run seemlessly. The theatre of course was perfect for the occasion.
Somebody commented to me how nice it was to come and look at club films without it being a competition with the inevitable winners and losers. It was! It meant that we looked at each film on it's own merits and not needing to be judgemental as in a competition viewing.
Being on a summer Sunday afternoon also added to the pleasure, giving us a reasonably relaxed journey on the M6 instead of the usual rain and chaos.
Thanks for all your efforts on our behalf, although I expect you enjoyed it as much as we did.
