Autumn 2010 - South-West Group Viewing Day

Sunday 7th November 2010  at The Athenaeum, Warminster

It was six years to the day since Warminster Film Society hosted a South West Viewing . Over 90 delegates from 20 Societies attended for what was, in effect, the second leg of the Group's Autumn Viewing following on from the event held in Torquay two weeks before for Devon and Cornwall Societies in the far west of the region. Taking the two Film Days together, nearly 130 members from 30 Societies made the Autumn Viewing one of the most successful in the Group's 35-year history. Information courtesy of Brian Clay.
