To the schedules manager
Dear Madam, Sir,
I am a patron of the Rio Cinema and advertise your events in my Up Your Street newsletter to seniors.Recently I enjoyed the screening of Tom Hunter’s film but was dismayed to see the accompanying film as “Brief Encounter”. This film is never off telly and I do appreciate that going to the cinema is a social outing for seniors in our community. The Pheonix, N.2. recently showed “Casablanca” as a free showing aimed at seniors I’m sure and that comes on TV over the Christmas….again.
I wonder what principles inform you when you choose films for OAP Wednesdays. We seniors range from 55 upwards and in the senior category of course there are major generational and cultural differences.
Tea dances which are not dedicated to seniors are often advertised in a way that makes everyone know they are organised for 70+ seniors. It is high time the younger seniors who were the followers of fashion, the Reggae stompers, the Greenpeace pioneers, the Dylan troubadours, the generation after kitchen- sink drama, the mods and the rockers were asked what they would like instead of war archives and romanticized tales because there is a serious gap when it comes to events for these deserving pensioned people!
