Fundraising to cover cost of repairs to independent cinema after vandalism.

Canterbury

Recently, 17 children entered the cinema and wreaked havoc. The screen was damaged and seating slashed. The cost of repairs is estimated at $9,000. This cinema is independently owned and insurance will not cover this damage. From discussions with the owner, it seems there will be no recompense from the children or their parents. We are very lucky to have this historic and independent cinema in our wee town and it is unfair for Pat to have to cover this damage. He needs our support.

Our local, independent, cinema was vandalised by youths. The cost of repairs is in the thousands. Pat's insurance won't cover this. We, as a community, need to support our cinema.

Use of funds

To repair the cinema screen and replace damaged seating.
