Topsham Film Society News Is Our Sound Quality Up To Scratch? We have been delighted with the reaction from film audiences to the improved sound quality in Matthews Hall. The excellent work to improve the hall over the summer included relocating the forward wall-mounted speakers, fitting acoustic tiles and installing a larger ‘central speaker’ – the one that sits underneath the screen when we show films. After six films, we have heard of very few problems with audiences not hearing the dialogue and we are confident that we have cracked this problem at last. If you disagree or have any comments on the sound quality, or any other issue, please let committee members know at the door or the bar when you next come to a film. Do You Want To Help Our Film Society? The 2009 Topsham Film Society annual general meeting takes place at 7.15pm on Friday March 5 just before our penultimate film of the season. (Please note – this is two weeks earlier than originally scheduled.) The current committee members will provide details of membership and accounts during the 2009-2010 season and there will be elections for members of the committee for 2010-2011. Do you want to play a bigger role in the society by joining our committee? Members have varied tasks: at committee level there are the traditional roles such as chairman, secretary, treasurer and publicity officer, while at the film showings the committee members operate the projection equipment, run the bar and check membership details. There is also the highly enjoyable but challenging task each summer of deciding on the next season’s films! If you are interested in being a member of the committee please contact our Chairman, Michael Smithson, on 875625, or speak with any current committee member when you next attend a film.
