Reference was made to the following: · Post Covid challenges. · Live shows following the relaxation of Covid restrictions. · Film screenings and attendance. · Promotions to assist with the cost of living crisis e.g. £1 screenings. · Future programmes, to include, the Gallery, with a full programme of exhibitions, the annual Pantomime – Robin Hood presented by Pantomime Production Company and may others exciting performances. · A free screening for the Community had been scheduled for 2 October, 2022 to celebrate 11 years since the redevelopment of Theatr Colwyn. · Community support and trialling the ‘Pay It Forward Scheme’ for hot drinks and cinema tickets. · The Theatre joined a number of other UK cinemas in screening the State funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on 19 September, 2022. Discussion arose regarding the following: · Filmmakers had until 15 October, 2022 to enter the very first Gogs International Short Film Festival. Bursaries were available, to cover the entrance fee, for those living in Conwy County. · Providing accessible theatre to local theatrical companies, was acknowledged as often being the first place or the first chance for people to become involved in the performing arts and the first place that people can step onto the stage to perform. · Seeking sponsorship for screening opportunities and events for local groups and charities. Organisations, such as, Cartrefi Cymru and Colwyn Bay Football Club were highlighted. · Exploring all avenues to assist those in the local community e.g. give or take a can, or distributing screening vouchers in local Food Banks. · Collaboration with Welsh National Opera and alike to show dementia friendly screenings. · Current financial climate and implications. Members welcomed the informative update and thanked the Theatr Colwyn staff for all their hard work. RESOLVED: That the report be noted.
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
