Dear All It's just 24 hours since I started this campaign and already we have passed 500 names. Your support has been incredible and just shows how much we want to keep this unique venue on our pier open! Some people are questioning what good a petition will do! When I heard of the plans to close the cinema I just wanted to do something to make sure that as many people as possible knew and could express their support for it to stay open in one place. If you haven't already done so have a look at the many many comments and suggestions that people have made on the petition site. Really useful observations for the future and expressions of wanting to help. All of this is extremely positive and can only but help the cause. I did not expect the response that I have had in such a short space of time and hopefully the opportunity will soon arise to meet with PACL and other interested people to take things forward constructively to keep the cinema open. Clearly from the comments alone there is lots and lots of goodwill Thank you - and please continue to let people know about this
