Help the Aged China Trek 2009

On 17th October 2009 Seán Grant, Assistant Manager at Movie House Cityside, and four more participants will be taking part in the Great Wall of China Trek for Help the Aged / Age Concern.

The team have set their target sponsorship figure at £14,000 and to help them get there the guys have organised at night at Drumbo Park race track in Lisburn as their main fundraising event.

We will be doing our part by sponsoring one of the six races on the night, and we're sure that the event will be a success in helping the team meet their goal. Golden Popcorn are proud to be associated with the efforts of Seán and his team and we wish the guys the best of luck in their challenge. We'll also keep you updated on how the trek went at a later date.

PressPlay Film Festival

Golden Popcorn are supporting the PressPlay Film Festival which is being held at the Queens Film Theatre in Belfast this Thursday 21st May.

The short films being screened have been produced by the students of the National Diploma in Media Production at Belfast Metropolitan College. The festival is an opportunity for the students to show their pre-production and post-production skills on the big screen and it could well be the place to catch some of the province's best young talent.

Strandtown's mission to Colombia

Last year we donated some popcorn for a family film night, held at The Strand cinema in association with Strandtown Baptist Church. The proceeds from this fund-raising event helped raise money for an expedition to Bogota, Colombia which was arranged by Children's Vision. Christine Mahood from the team of 25 hardy Belfast explorers recently got in touch to tell us how they got on.

Amongst many other tasks, the majority of the volunteer's work consisted of assisting in the construction of a new school and helping out at the local nursery. The trip was by all accounts a success and a similar journey is planned for later in the year.

New van, new look

Golden Popcorn have upgraded and updated our fleet of delivery vehicles. In addition to our original Ford Transit, we now also have a Mercedes Sprinter with a Luton Body which includes a tail-lift, giving us more space and flexibilty for deliveries.

As well as all that, the vans were given brand new signage displaying our logo and website. We think they look great, we hope you do too. You may even see one around, loaded with our popcorn!
