The film first arrived on Tuesday in our delivery box, and then vanished on Thursday. It appears that our couriers had returned the film before it had been shown. After many phone calls we had another copy dispatched due to arrive on Saturday, but it was 'mis-directed'. So here we were Sunday afternoon, and plan B swung into action using the digital projector. We are sorry for the low quality, but full 35mm showings will return this Tuesday with My Super Ex-Girlfriend and Silent Hill.

Perfectly timed so that you can enjoy both pirates movies back to back, this screening is being held in support of the Jubilee Sailing Trust. RAG will be collecting donations which will go to the charity. In order to help you dig deep for this brilliant charity Union Films will make this screening FREE. To join in the fun we are also encouraging people to dress up appropriately (we will be!). There will be eye patches on sale with the money going to the trust as well. We hope you will be joining us on the good ship Uniplex to support this showing!

The second additional screening will be the classic Scarface, presented FREE courtesy of the Audit Commission. Come and see Al Pacino, giving his favourite performance, as drug dealer Tony Montana in this cult classic.

These will both be free showings for any member of the union to come to - you do NOT need a season ticket to attend!

26.11.2002: On Sunday 1st December we will have two showings of Trainspotting, for AIDS Awareness Day.
Admittance will be free, with a voluntary donation on the door. The showings will be at 3pm and 6pm.
The Autumn Season film Reign Of Fire will have one showing at 9pm as scheduled, under the normal season ticket rules.

19.11.2002: Thanks to everyone that attended our free showings on Sunday and Monday, and also to everyone that has bought a season ticket.
There are still plenty of season tickets left for sale, so if you want to come and see any of our showings you should come to our hatch opposite the cinema and buy one. There are 18 films this season, and a ticket is only £8!
Hope to see you at the opening of the season on Thursday night.

13.11.2002: At last we can finally say that we will definitely be showing free films on sunday 17th and monday 18th november. See the Season section for more information.

Thankyou for your patience during this exceptionally difficult period - it'll all be back to normal soon!

08.11.2002: We are extremely sorry to announce that we have had to cancel all films until Thursday 21st November, due to continuing problems with the electrics in the Uniplex.

A very Happy Christmas and a Peaceful New Year.

Thank you for your patience and loyalty in this difficult year. As you've probably seen (and heard- it's a noisy business) by now, the building-work is at last underway, Hooray!
(It's big and hole-shaped at the moment!)

So we're crossing fingers and toes and waiting to see what new, eighth wonder of the world of epic, Union proportions emerges, phoenix-like, from the rubble...
