A Very Merry Christmas at the 81st Cinema Exhibitors’ Association Christmas Dinner

Exhibitors, distributors and suppliers came together last night to mark the festive season at the 81^st Cinema Exhibitors’ Association Christmas Dinner, held at London’s magnificent Waldorf Hilton Hotel.

Digital Cinema Media was proud to sponsor the drinks reception this year for the first time and delighted to catch up with so many colleagues across the industry. Guests had travelled from all parts of the UK to mark the occasion, including Tamiko Mackie from The Maltings cinema in Berwick-upon-Tweed, Merlin’s Geoff Greaves and Billy Quitco from Cornwall, Steve Reynolds from Four Seasons Entertainment and Picturedrome’s Adam Cunard from Bognor Regis, to name a few. Exhibitors from closer to home included Tyrone Walker-Hebborn from the Genesis, Mile End and Reel’s Klash Suri.

As well as enjoying DCM’s mince pie flavoured popcorn, there was a rare chance to dance along to an exclusive performance by the cinema industry’s own house band “The Projectors”, chance lady luck in the casino, or take home a photographic momento of the evening thanks to an instant photobooth. Proceeds from the evening will go towards the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund.

Thanks go to Phil Clapp and Annette Bradford of the Cinema Exhibitors’ Association and Julie Harriss for hosting such a memorable event. We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and look forward to seeing you next year at the 82^nd CEA Christmas Dinner.
