Community cinema chairman resigns
Honiton Community Cinema set to continue despite chairman’s resignation.
The chairman of Honiton Community Cinema has stood down due to work commitments.
Marianne Harman, who helped to establish the project, told the Midweek Herald that she no longer has the time to put into the community cinema.
“I have stood down because work commitments mean that I don’t have the time to put into the project any more.
“However, this was all planned some time ago and everything is in place for a thriving community cinema.”
Secretary Peter Corke is standing in until a new chairman can be found.
She added: “Everyone has worked hard and given up a lot of their own time to make it a success.
