Cinema return to Greystones ideas

    Hey first time posting on here (I think) :pac:
    I had an idea about maybe drive in cinema car park like they do abroad, except maybe have it in the park and ride down near the woodlands. Maybe charge a fiver in (to the free car park) to let people watch films on the big screen. The idea doesn't even have to be in a car park, maybe in someone's field, (maybe one of the ones up for sale for 'X' amount of years :P ).
    Since it rains (a lot), this would have to be held during the summer months (hopefully). For this reason I think it would be a great idea to add it down on the list of things for Greystones Summer festival.
    I'm not too sure about licensing about films and the like, or even if the County Council would approve (because of noise or light pollution so close an estate, then again the GUFC lights are on every night).
    ANYWAY, I'm just posting on here to see what people thought of the idea and maybe if it should be a possible thought on people's minds, instead of complaining about the good 'ol Greystones' cinema days, maybe we could help do something about (*insert inspirational speech here*). I think the idea is maybe more a hopeful idea, but worth a think I find!
    Thanks for reading! (if any did at all :P)

    I don't know whether you know but they're doing one of these in Dun Laoghaire in the ferry terminal car park. I'm not sure if there'd be the demand for two such enterprises so close together.

    Theres one in Dun Laoghaire at the moment

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    I didn't know there was something like this in DL, Is it any good? I was thinking a bit closer to home and maybe easier for people around the GGA (Greater Greystones Area :P ) to get to.
