We’re thrilled to announce Peugeot Gateway as the sponsors of our next film Senna on 10th November. And if the fantastic turnout for the club’s first two screenings is anything to go by, it looks like the film concerning the blazing career of Ayrton Senna is in pole position for yet another successful night for the club.

The family run Peugeot dealership in Crewe, which has been in business for 30 years, had fulfilled its community budget for this year but always keen to support local community projects, the sales team has dug deep into their own pockets to help out.

When we first spoke to the sales manager Alex Walker he said there was nothing left of the company’s community budget for the year. However, he was keen to support us so he asked his sales team to help out with their own funds. Amazingly, the team, comprising Alex, Keith, Matt, Dave and Phil, agreed. This was no small amount for them each to personally cough up so it is an incredibly generous effort and helps to ensure the continued success of our project.

A total of 68 people turned up to see Another Year last Thursday and we received fabulous feedback from our audience, mainly from people who were over the moon to experience what we are offering in Nantwich.

It is so encouraging to see so many people turn up to support our venture. We’ve had terrific feedback from our audience and lots of encouragement which makes all the hard work we put in to getting the club going worthwhile. During the long period it took to get this project of the ground, we always thought we had a good idea and now we have had such a fantastic turnout to our initial films it’s great to know our gut instincts were right.

The film club’s next film Senna will be screened at 7.45pm in The Crown Ballroom on Thursday 10th November. Tickets, priced £5, are available from the The Crown Hotel reception in advance or on the door on the night, subject to availability.

The film club’s next film Senna will be screened at 7.45pm in The Crown Ballroom on Thursday 10th November. Directed by Asif Kapadia, the film is the story of the monumental life and tragic death of legendary Brazilian motor-racing Champion, Ayrton Senna. Spanning the decade from his arrival in Formula One in the mid 80′s, the film follows Senna’s struggles both on track against his nemesis, French World Champion Alain Prost, and off it, against the politics which infest the sport. Senna conquers and transcends Formula One to become a global superstar. Yet he is struck down in his prime on the blackest weekend in the history of the sport, watched live on television by 300 million people. Years on he is revered in Formula One as the greatest motor racing driver of all time – and in Brasil as a Saint. View reviews and trailers here.

Tickets, priced £5, are available from the The Crown Hotel reception in advance or on the door on the night, subject to availability.

Organisers of Nantwich Big Cheese Film Club are thrilled to announce the sponsorship of their next film by Mornflake.

With its many and varied scenes of domestic ‘bliss’, the club’s up-and-coming film Another Year by highly acclaimed British director Mike Leigh is an ideal film for sponsorship by the Morning Food company which has been milling oats locally since 1675.

Big Cheese chairman Graham Egerton said: “We are delighted that Mornflake has agreed to sponsor our next film, a fantastic endorsement for our venture.

“If last month’s launch was anything to go by we are expecting a good turnout for Another Year and  can’t wait to hear what people think about the film. Everyone is encouraged to stay behind in the bar for a drink and a chat afterwards.”

Nantwich Big Cheese Film Club will show independent, foreign language and classic films each month. It aims to establish a ‘cinema’ for Nantwich, cultivating a quality and educational movie experience for members of the public and encouraging discussion in get-togethers before and after each screening.
