what about a boxing club in the hall? , would be great for boys/girls and men/women

[Mick Mac]

Cinema V Boxing Club.

Lets have a vote. It could be a close call.

Well, that seems to cover all possibilities :)

Why do we need a cinema when we've got Peckham Plex?

[The Minkey]

Because some people don't like Peckham because "it's full of poor people", and think its cinematic surrounding might give them fleas, and would can afford to pay ?10+ for a ticket.

Boxing.

Then the pussys in ED would be able to go to the Plex

Did anyone else get the leaflet from Picturehouse through the door today?

They're now proposing to build a cinema near St. Anthony's Church, and there's an exhibition about the proposal at St. Thomas More Hall on 4 and 8 March.

Personally I think it's a great idea - big fan of Picturehouse cinemas.

[Sue]

Could you clarify? I thought the hall was to become the cinema?

Hmm, the leaflet I got through the door says this: "Picturehouse cinemas presents its proposals for Dulwich Picturehouse at the historic site of St. Anthony's Church and former St. Anthony's School. Please come along to our informal exhibition at St. Thomas More Hall."

I'm confused now. Is St. Anthony's Church not the one at the end of Barry Road?

[Sue]

Was St Anthony's church once on the site of what is now St Thomas More Hall?

The hall does/did belong to the church ....

[Earl Aelfheah]

Yep, Sue's right I think. Anyone got an electronic copy of the leaflet they could share?

Ah right, that makes far more sense.

There's an upload of the leaflet in here http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?5,1216470,page=3

"Pre-planning application"?

I am confused now!

Is this definitely going ahead and it's just the details which need to be discussed, or may it still not go ahead?

[Earl Aelfheah]

If this happens, I can see lot's of Baroque painting fans milling about confused outside the Dulwich Picturehouse on Lordship Lane.

The RC St.Thomas Moore community centre is what they're referring to at 116A Lordship Lane.

Great they're leafleting at last. This is around trying to ensure they get planning permission.

[worldwiser]

Well, from my forensic reading of the flyer I'm guessing that there will be two meetings in 2 weeks' time where all curiosity will be satisfied. Maybe this means the Hall on LL will become the long anticipated Waitrose. Oh.. I said it.

[VicCraven]

This really is incredibly exciting.

And I am SO happy that of the three potential companies, the Picturehouse group have succeeded in their proposal.

I cannot believe that I will be able to walk to the end of the road to see the latest and best films.

Looking forward to visiting their exhibition next week.

Vic :)

[VicCraven]

Here is a copy of the leaflet being distributed today with details of the exhibition next week.

And for those without the ability to view the image, here is a transcript of the leaflet:

"Picturehouse Cinemas presents...

its proposals for Dulwich Picturehouse at the historic site of St Anthony's Church and former St Anthony's School.

Please come along to our informal exhibition at St Thomas More Hall, Lordship Lane, SE22.

Tuesday 4 March between 6:30pm and 9:30pm

Saturday 8 March between 10:00am and 1:00pm

We have now started our pre-planning application dialogue with Southwark Council and would love to share our ideas with you.

We look forward to seeing you on one of the above dates - we hope you will be as excited about our plans as we are!

Best wishes

Picturehouse Cinemas"

[Earl Aelfheah]

Very exciting. Please don't anyone start moaning about parking.

[Sue]

Be interesting to know what the timescale is, ie when we can actually go and see a movie there :)

[Millhaven]

Going to be great. Instead of a 15 minute walk to Peckham I'll have a 15 minute walk to Lordship Lane.

Or is the cinema in Peckham shutting down?

Love going to the cinema meself, but is there a need for two in such close proximity? Unless the new one is going purely art house or something.

[James Barber]

Hi Millhaven,

You killjoy.

East Dulwich with a cinema again. Heaven. My hunch is more people from East Dulwich will go to the cinema when we have a local one. Going over to Brixton is a pain and Peckham one doesn't have a great vibe at 11pm after a film. I also believe that the local eateries will benefit from making an evening of it.

The other great benefit is local children going with parents feeling more relaxed than their offspring trekking over to Brixton or Peckham.
