Update from the Milford on Sea Community Centre
The Centre is now much busier with many different events and activities and we are looking to
expand our range. It is an exciting time - so come and join us, have fun, learn something new
and help us continue to shape the future of this great community resource! There are many
different areas where you can volunteer and the rotas are flexible – so even if you can only
spare a couple of hours a month, it will make a big difference!
One particular area that might appeal is the technical side for the events that we run, from
Comedy Club, Band and Tribute Artist Acts, Theatre/Pantomime, Folk, Jazz, to Movies and
Screenings (the “Screen Team”).
Phil trained as a cinema projectionist last year and said: "I could see that another projectionist
was needed to keep Milford Movies running smoothly so I volunteered. I had no previous
experience other than switching on the TV at home, but the training was comprehensive, and it
was not difficult to learn. I was given plenty of opportunities to work in tandem until I was
confident on my own. It is an enjoyable task, you are appreciated by the movie-goers, and I
have seen some good films too!" In addition to movies, Phil is now screening live broadcasts
including theatre, ballet and opera as well as assisting with live events in the hall such as the
monthly Jazz Club.
If working on any of these events sounds interesting, whether you’re into music, comedy, films,
or just helping out with some of the simpler tasks like helping run meetings with just a couple
of microphones, then please email volunteer@moscommunitycentre.org.uk. Full training will
be given.
