A group of young parents at Action for Children want to set up a community cinema at Kirkconnel Miners Memorial Centre. The idea came from the group looking at the Community Action Plan and deciding for themselves to address the issue. Weekly cinema sessions will be run by these volunteers, with the first event being a community consultation to find out what movies people would like to see. Seeking: £2,460
The nearest proper cinemas to Kirkconnel and Kelloholm are either Dumfries or Kilmarnock which are 30 miles away, so movie-going is an expensive hobby in a rurally isolated are like Upper Nithsdale. This would be a welcome local service, especially for young families. 😊
