Regent Theatre Te Awamutu

Firstly, I wish to sincerely thank Brooke for setting up the Give-a-little page for the Regent Theatre. Without her vision and consideration, it would never have eventuated.

Secondly, I feel very honoured that so many people have entrusted me with their contributions in that they will be used to sustain activities until a satisfactory solution is found to keep the Theatre alive for the future.

And finally, to thank everyone for their support and the wonderful comments. It has been difficult to cope with the Pandemic outcome in the Cinema Industry, especially in small rural towns. In the past there have been many setbacks, to the detriment of cinemas, that have caused wide-spread closures. However, the urban locations have always survived in various ways and the rural sector has relied on Trusts to operate cinemas, relying on grants and volunteers, or picture halls as part of cafes moving away from traditional cinemas.

A tremendous thank you to Brooke and all of you wonderful and caring people. I am eternally grateful.

Allan.
