THE team behind a campaign to bring Helensburgh's only cinema into community ownership are reminding people to snap up tickets for a public event at the venue.

The 'Save the Tower' steering group was set up earlier this year in a bid to secure a long-term future for the Tower Digital Arts Centre in Sinclair Street.

The group revealed that the centre's founder, Brian Keating, is "contemplating a transition to retirement due to circumstances beyond his control".

As previously reported, the group have been successful in its Stage 1 application to the Scottish Land Fund, and are now working towards Stage 2 of the process.

The grant, approved after the submission of a bid in May, will mean that the team can carry out due diligence on the viability of their plan to bring the cinema into community ownership for the benefit of people in Helensburgh and the surrounding area.

They have now put on two community engagement events which have been planned for September 7 to update the public on what's been achieved so far, but they are needing the Helensburgh community to get behind them.

The two sessions will take place between 2-5pm and then from 6-9pm at the Tower, where the group will provide important updates on how the community can help followed by a free movie.
