MAIDENHEAD
AT THE MOVIES
26
July 2008
|
 A
fabulous weekend of free movies to enjoy in the sunshine and also the
cool of the evening from Friday through to Sunday.
Chairs
were available but you could bring your own deck chair or a blanket
and picnic and enjoy the exciting atmosphere of watching outdoor
movies.
It
was a special screen that was watchable even in strong sunlight and a
great sound system.
There were hamburgers and drinks
available and the RBWM ensured their recycling stand was there to
educate us!
It was a fabulous initiative of the
council and one we hope will be repeated.
Movies included Grease, Indiana Jones,
Mary Poppins, Shrek and the Italian Job.
