Just thought I’d pop in to give you some more news about the project. The wheels are very much in motion and a steady, progressive team are working hard to acquire the New Vic and to return it to its former use. The project now has a website http://www.newvicpreston.weebly.com containing news, facts and a number of images of the cinema between 1928 and the present day. The project team meet regularly and we are always keen to see new names on the Facebook site http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=75218299150 and we welcome anyone with an interest in the project to join us at our meetings which take place every other Monday at New Meadow Street Labour Club, North Road Preston, PR1 1YQ @ 7.00pm. The next meeting following this post is on 29th November.
The owners – at long last – have put the cinema up for sale / to let. The New Victoria Action Group (soon to be called ‘Friends of the New Victoria Preston)are busy putting together resources to purchase the building. The ultimate aim is to create a centre for arts and culture, bringing non-mainstream films to the city together with some restoration of this last remaining, indistinguishable town centre cinema in Preston. Further details and information can be found on the exclusive Facebook page 'THE NEW VICTORIA ACTION GROUP PRESTON’.
