Projection space rebrand

The projection space is being repainted for the new year, and rebranded with the name Cinn. There is planning to set up a weekend film club. We're still in the idea stage of how it will work, it could possibly be a members club, where you would sign up pay a small fee and be able to use the projection space at weekends. For a trial we'll be holding some free film nights to gage the level of interest. The free nights should start mid January, with some theme nights like comedy and sci-fi. Any ideas or interest in setting up a weekend film club please mention it to a member of staff.

Thank you.

Christmas Party 2008

The closing party for The Drop Inn 2008. We have all the silly and messy games, hope everyone who joined in enjoyed it, thank you for the ones who did join in, the staff had lots of fun!

To mark the end of another year at The Drop Inn we would like to say a big thank you for all the support we've had again this year! Together we have achieved a lot, especially this year with the take over late last year. We would appreciate any feed back from the Youth members, any complaints or any word on projects you've enjoyed and wouls like to see again this year. I know that sounds official and boring, but if we don't hear what you think we cant change things in the New year, thank you!

Look forward to some new and exciting projects beginning in the new year, have a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year!

See you all in the New Year!

The work on the band room has started, with a new door being fixed and shelves put up for the equipment. Over the Christmas break it will be re-painted and all the band equipment will be moved back into place.

This is the proposed Logo for the band room. We just need to go through the list of names proposed so the window graphics and posters can be completed.


Cheers

Re:union

This was the first re:union for The Drop Inn, so it was a trial to see how successful it would be to hold an over 18's party for the original members. We raised the age limit to 20+, to make the divide between members. The usual age limit is up to 17, so we wanted to attract the older member that would have been through The Drop Inn a few years ago and moved on. It was fun trying to chase everybody up. The night was crazy and really nice seeing everyone again!

Flickr Book

As well as collecting designs to use for the T-shirts, We'll also be collecting some of your smaller doodles to adapt for a flicker book. In the new year The Drop Inn will be releasing a new line of advertisment and hand outs, such as leaflets and new stickers to brand things. A new idea is to produce a flip book, with news related clippings, youth art work, pictures of projects and some short stop frame animations and messages from the youth. This project is entirely experimental, for some fun. However if it works, we will think about producing loads of flicker books to send The Drop Inn message around communities and schools.
