As one cinema re-opens, another closes ...

A message received today  from Whanganui...Confluence Cinema <[email protected]>
Dear Confluence customers and supporters,

You’re receiving this email as one of our wonderful customers and supporters over the years who have helped grow Confluence from the little trickle of an idea Melita & Kevin had about 7 years ago, into the enjoyable community focused social enterprise it became. No matter if your journey with us was brief or just planned to begin, or if you were a regular and much cherished visitor, perhaps even with a favourite seat in the cinema - you are all very special to us and the memories of what we made together will remain for a lifetime. Thank you.

This email is to let you know that Confluence is closing all of its services in Whanganui at the end of April.

The reasons for closing are all unrelated to the Covid pandemic mitigations, but instead actually due to an ongoing, and unfortunately now untenable, situation with our new location in The Backhouse.
