- membership fees collected at the start will cover most of the cost the rest of the season
- the society is the under the control of the members by means of an AGM and through voluntary help
- a filmsoc is a worthy community project and so may get support and sponsorship from various sources,
- there is well established community of film societies offering mutual support and lobbying power
tickets cannot be sold freely at the door,
not all the latest releases are available immediately,
we are not supposed to advertise - i.e. not to compete with commercial cinemas
A Film Society belongs to the members -
