2. Areas
Meersbrook and Nether Edge are two areas where we have the resources to put on more film screenings but we don't for other areas. However if some people from other parts of Sheffield would like to offer to help with aspects such as booking venues and distributing publicity then we could provide the sscreening equiptment and technical assistance.
