CUSTOMER SURVEY
Many thanks to those of you who completed our recent survey. This was our fist one and the results were very encouraging with 80% of you either "very strongly" or "extremely stongly" recommending us to others and 80% of you either "satisfied" or "extremely satisfied" with our service. A separate recent Facebook reviewer claimed Stow Film Lounge was "The best cinema experience I've ever had!"

However, there are things that we can also improve on such as venue accessibilty for wheelchair users and our range/diversity of films/screenings. Both these points we are already actively working on.

SCRIBBLE & SMUDGE CRAFT SESSIONS
Many of you will already be familiar with Lesley Palmer's wonderfully creative pre-film activities at our Kids' Film Lounge screenings. I just had to share with you a short animation film put together by the youngsters and Kevin Palmer (animator extraordinnaire) during our feature Monsters University recently. I am sure you will agree it is fabulous. Watch it - here (http://youtu.be/-hZD8gJwWrw)

EVENING FOOD MENU
As our "pizza at the pictures" offer has proved so popular, we have decided to extend our menu for our evening screenings to include; Penne Arrabitta, Penne Bolognese, Vegetarian Lasagne, Meat Lasagne and Side Salad.

We will be starting these new dishes towards the end of this month and, as with the pizzas, Uffizzi restaurant (http://www.uffizzi.co.uk/) on the Lea Bridge Road will be supplying us. Please note these will also be pre-book only.

BBC LONDON 94.9FM
My next guest contributor's film round-up on the Jo & Simon breakfast show will be on Saturday 15th February. Oscar fever will be picking up so keep an ear out. So will my Oscar prediction about 12 Years A Slave prove to be correct? I also take the opportunity to mention this little creative dynamo of an area known as E17. Have a listen - here (http://www.chrisgartside.co.uk/bbc_london.html)

HALF-TERM CLASSIC MUSICAL
Are you spotting a music theme in this month's films? What better way to be entertained than the classic OLIVER starring Mark Lester and Ron Moody. We have a special interactive workshop led by Lizzy Renihan of the Natural Voices Choir (http://www.naturalvoices.co.uk/) for your little ones prior to the film as well as our usual range of refreshments. Click on the film link above to book your tickets.

VINTAGE CABARAOKE & DJ ST. HUBBINS COLLABORATION
To coincide with the 30th anniversary of the legendary film "This Is Spinal Tap", we are once again collaborating with Vintage Cabaraoke and DJ St. Hubbins to bring the you the very best of themed evening entertainment. Scheduled for Friday 28th February this rock themed evening will be a blast. Tickets are already going and are on sale - here. (http://www.wegottickets.com/event/254347)
