CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO CHECK FOR DEVELOPMENTS 09.03.2010 @ 9.33 am A check revealed that old material had been restored to the site and that as yet no new material had been added except for this weeks review
thank you people ... you should be thanked for being here and doing what you are doing ... this new committee made all kinds of promises at the meeting to win votes ... nothing has happened since ... it looks like they have locked themselves away and are busy trying to avoid doing anything ... like where are the elections results ... surely there must be some news ... were is the evidence that their website will be used to communicate with members as it was said it would be ... all that seems to have been forgotten ... what has happened is that things have been taken away on that site ... no comments anymore ... no review for this weeks movie etc. etc. etc. ... anyway thanks for your reviews etc.!
This may be out of order but I have been waiting until comments returned on the other site to ask these questions. I have been thinking about it for some time.
Can anyone say where the society’s funds are invested? Is this money winning the best possible return for members? Are they invested with an ethical investment fund? How secure are these funds? What kind of income do they earn?
I do not know who can answer these questions or even if they are being asked. I think they should be if there is as much money available for investment at seems there is. Also, if a large local company is likely to go bankrupt it would be good to know that community organisations are not at risk in any way.
Welcome to a Launceston Film Society BLOG. However this BLOG is yet to be sanctioned by 'The Committee" but it is nonetheless sanctioned by a network of members.
The site is dedicated to ART FIRST and then to encouraging open conversations and critical exchanges relevant to cinema, cinema culture, and the moving image in all formats.
If you have something to say, say it here! Your comments will be published without fear or favour just so long as they are not libellous and downright rude. Why not test us to see how far we’ll let you go.
Mostly we are looking for critiques of films the society shows or firms you see anywhere. We are even looking for critiques of the critiques.
We are a decade into the 21st Century and we think that it is time to lift our game and get a little closer to the cutting edge – at least some of the time.
We know that most people come to LFS showings to be entertained but maybe not always. Tell us what you are looking for. This is your spot in CYBERspace to say what you think when you think it!

Yes and I was looking for the election results
What have the schoolboy antics of LCC got to do with the Film Society?
Hey they would make an excellent subject for a Launceston sponsored block buster. Dummy spitting and all!

Mae doesn't know, either. Nor does she know whether all the funds are invested in the one place (which would seem rather risky).
We might have to wait a long while to find out exactly what has happened to our money.
