Well, I was right. We did have our worst turn out ever, simply because we didn't have a turnout period. Our treasurer forgot to pick up the projector, and when he finally remembered the place had shut. So we had to cancel the whole showing, which means about 80 quid down the drain for us. Only good news is that if I can find the time I can have my own private showing of Metropolis.
My suspiciouns about the treasurer have been confirmed btw, and he's asking to resign. I'm going to support him so long as we can find someone else willing to fill the role. (He's annoyed that the post of treasurer actually requires some work in our club...not to mention he seems to be having a bit of a mental breakdown, though that may be due to exams.)
I have more time to research now, which I'm going to go take advantage of, if I can stop speculating about the sexual leanings of Philip Augustus and Richard I (the Lionhearted)...I'll be so glad to get back to writing after this week...
