2020-22 and Coronavirus
We are planning to restart showings in January 2022, subject of course to government regulations, and any restrictions that the Marine Theatre may apply. At present the theatre is operating normally, so social distancing is not guaranteed, though of course we ask members to be respectful of the safety of others, and not to come if they have Covid-19 symptoms or a positive test.
To simplify administration and keep costs down, there will be several changes from previous practice:
We did not have an AGM during the closed period, but we intend to hold one as usual in November 2022.
To simplify administration and keep costs down, there will be several changes from previous practice:
- A single fixed subscription
- No membership cards - we shall have a checklist of paid-up members at the door
- We shan't be printing a colour brochure
- No guests

Subscriptions
For this early 2022 half-season (six films), we shall operate a single subscription of £12 per person, without any variations.
Invitations were posted on 4th November 2021 to longstanding members and those who have specifically asked to join this time. When you receive this letter please respond promptly - depending on the uptake we hope to be able to offer more places around the end of November to give as many people as possible the opportunity to come, subject to the need to restrict numbers.
If you have decided not to join us, we would appreciate a message using the contact form below - and tell us if you are just holding off this time or want to be removed from future invitations.

Practical Arrangements
Each season normally runs from September to the following March and the films are shown fortnightly early on Sunday evenings.
Since the loss of our much loved Regent Cinema we have operated at the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis. We are delighted to be supporting them! We provided a new projector and screen at the Theatre, which are also in use for commercial film screenings. Our thanks to Cinema for All for a grant to help with the new equipment.
The theatre holds 220 people. This sets the limit to our membership - social distancing requirements also need to be applied, which reduces the effective capacity, so we aim to limit membership to about 160 for the time being. Really disappointing, and we look forward to when we can include more people once more.
Please arrive in good time for a 5:30 pm start. Late arrivals will cause inconvenience to other members, and the limit on seating capacity at the Theatre could occasionally require us to close the doors when it is full.
