Written by

ON Saturday Thame Cinema 4 All bade ‘goodbye’ to Margie and Chris Savory, its Chair and Treasurer who, together with their neighbours Tim and Mary Ann Osborne, started the cinema club five years ago.
The committee gave Margie and Chris a framed copy of all the posters of all the films they had ever shown, including “Mrs Henderson Presents” which was the fitting last film, picked by this enterprising pair, to show at their Swan Song.
Margie, who is going to be the Artistic Director of the Marine Theatre in Lyme Regis added:” I will miss my friends here and the wonderful camaraderie of the cinema club, but I am pleased to be moving to an area where the local district council supports the arts whole heartedly.
“It has been like banging your head against a brick wall to get any feeling that the SODC recognised the role of the Arts in community building. Even Boris Johnson was shocked when he saw how little SODC gave to the arts in his constituency.
“I wish everyone here the very best and hope all my friends and contacts will pop in and see me in the Marine Theatre when visiting the Cobb in Lyme Regis and our lovely Jurassic coast in Dorset”
