Following on from this year's very popular inaugural Cinema on the Carrs, plans are already underway to ensure that next year's event is equally successful.
Next year's Cinema on the Carrs is scheduled to take place on Saturday 18th June, followed by Party on the Carrs on Sunday 19th June - which will include a number of new initiatives.
In order to ensure that next year's event appeals to the largest local audience residents are being asked to vote for which film they would like to be shown.
John Mills explained "Following the success of last year's Cinema on the Carrs we have decided to ask the public which film they would like to see in 2016, keeping in mind that we again want to achieve a fun entertaining evening for all age groups and families."
Local residents are invited to choose from the following three films: Back to the Future, Grease or Dirty Dancing. Alternatively, you can nominate a film of your own choice.

Last year's event has been shortlisted for Community Event of the Year in the Wilmslow Communtiy Awards which will take place at The Evan's Theatre on Thursday 19th November.

Here's what readers have had to say so far. Why not add your thoughts below.
Given the date of the event is only 2 weeks before the Centenary of the first Battle of the Somme (1st July 1916), when the British Army suffered its greatest loss of life in one day, may I suggest a screening of “Oh, What a Lovely War”, an entertaining satirical musical film with a well-known cast and Director.

Perhaps with an admission fee of £1, to be equally donated to the RBL Poppy Appeal and the ‘Help for Heroes’ Charity at WTC discretion.
The three choices are not at all suitable as family entertainment. There are laws on what children are allowed to watch at cinema screenings. So the sensible and legal thing to do is show a family film with either a U rating or a mild PG.
The only other alternative is to stop children attending which is probably illegal in a public park.
It's like the Santa visiting wilmslow at 8pm all over again! WTC remember there are families with children living in Wilmslow too.
The problem with an outdoor matinee screening is that it not dark enough until at least 9-10 pm in June. (Longest day is 21st).
Most young children, excited to see the Reindeer Parade in Nov/Dec would prob prefer to stop at home with their favourite video/play station at most other times. The film night is mainly for 'young' adults 12+ yo IMO. Other adult attendance optional.
Another option for future years would be for the Green Room players to preview their Gawsworth Hall outdoor production.
