Castlebay Pupils Fight to Save the Screen Machine

Lodged by Rhoda Grant Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament congratulates the pupils from Castlebay School, in Barra, on writing to Dame Judi Dench and encouraging her to support the campaign to save the Screen Machine; understands that the mobile cinema, which needs to be replaced, provides entertainment to people in Scotland’s most rural communities; believes that, as the UK’s only 80-seat, air conditioned mobile digital cinema, which visits more than 40 locations in the Highlands and Islands, it is both innovative and educational; thanks Dame Judi for lending her support to save the mobile cinema, and wishes the pupils from Castlebay well in their efforts to save the iconic resource.
