It's not the most exciting announcement ever, but I thought you should know that we've added a Zonita Cinema Privacy Policy page. I've tried to keep it as simple as possible, but here's an even simpler version:
If you email us requesting a table or ticket reservation, we'll keep your email address and may use it to email you about upcoming Zonita events. Unless you tell us not to, in which case we'll stop.
As you may be aware, as of 9th February, the government has decided to end most Covid restrictions. As a result, we are removing most of our Covid precautions on screening days. Of course this does not mean that the pandemic is over, and we still recommend that you do what is sensible to stay safe.
We're pleased to announce that the 2022 spring season movies are now confirmed. See here for more details.
Folks, we are delighted to be back with our first screening of the season at Parkside Hall on Saturday 11th September (evening only). And as you might expect, we are implementing a number of measures to keep people as safe as possible when returning.
We hope you enjoy our Autumn season of films!
You won't be too surprised to hear that we've decided to cancel the April showings at the Zonita, due to the ongoing Coronavirus outbreak. Apologies to all who were looking forward to those movies; we may move them to the start of the next season instead (planned for September). Until then, stay safe!
You may or may not be aware that we have recently had problems with our email system, and missed some bookings for the February showing. As a result, we've decided to move the Zonita email address to a more reliable one, at zonitacinema@gmail.com. You can also send email to the Zonita's Facebook email address: zonita.ampthill@gmail.com. The old info@zonita.org.uk address may still work for now, and will still be shown on posters for a while, but we ask that you use the new address when reserving tickets and tables from now on.
We had our largest ever audience last night, for the showing of Fisherman's Friends. Thanks to all who came along, and a very big thanks to the Sloop Groggy Dogs for putting on a great show! They very kindly donated their time and singing skills for free, instead having a collection for the RNLI.
Here's a small sample of the music they played that night, recorded by Ian Jenks, one of our volunteers:
Just before the January 11 showing of Fisherman's Friends, the local band Sloop Groggy Dogs will be singing some traditional songs of the sea, including some lively shanties. Come along and join in!
The band will be on at 7pm, and the movie will start a bit later than usual, at 7:30. They will also be playing for 20 minutes during the interval.
