Who we are

Click here for a full-screen version of this picture Click here for a full-screen version of this picture TRAMPS is a not-for-profit voluntary group that provides a high quality, low cost mobile cinema service to run film events at community venues.

It was set up in 2002 by local people as a response to the Community Investment Prospectus public consultation process in Settle, which highlighted the demand for a cinema in the Ribblesdale area, as the three nearest cinemas are all around 25 miles away. We operate within roughly a 30-mile radius of Settle.

We organise film shows ourselves and also help other groups run their own shows using our professional quality equipment (see below). The group is run entirely by volunteers and we are always looking for people to help with film shows and running the group. To find out more please see below.

TRAMPS has been financially supported by a number of funding bodies to buy the equipment and to help with the group’s development.

TRAMPS has a formal constitution.


Programme

For the most part, a film is shown each month on two occasions at two different venues in the Ribblesdale Area. The web site always carries the future programme in both summary form and in glorious Technicolor™.

Shows normally start at 7.30pm and tickets are usually £5, available on the door.

If you would like details of forthcoming shows sent to you by email, please please click here. To keep running costs to a minimum, we regret that we are unable to send details by post.


How to book TRAMPS

If you are interested in booking TRAMPS for a film show or organising a show yourself using our equipment please contact John Vendy on 015242 62083 or email johnvendy@yahoo.co.uk.

If we organise a show:

If you organise a show:

As the film shows are public events, we have to adhere to the public performance and copyright laws. This means that we have to hire films from a recognised distributor (ie not the corner shop!) at a fee of £120 inc VAT plus a percentage of the ticket sales. The film hire cost is for up to three consecutive shows so if you team up with one or two other local venues you share the film hire cost and so could make more money from the shows.

The distributor we have an agreement with is called Filmbank.

Their current list of films available on DVD and/or video can be seen here (link to their website list).

To check whether your venue is properly licenced to show films contact your District Council Licensing Officer (link to contacts page).

You can also hire all or some of the equipment at low cost for fundraising events, conferences, meetings etc.


How to become a volunteer

We are always looking for new volunteers to help with film shows and running the group. This includes helping to set up and operate the equipment, helping to serve refreshments, publicising film shows and distributing posters, etc. Volunteers generally help at shows about once a month at venues close to where they live. However involved you want to be, we’d welcome your help. If you are interested please contact Don Gamble on 015242 51775 or email don.gamble@ydmt.org, or send us a message by clicking here.
There is currently an urgent need for help with publicity (poster production and delivery), and box office (primarily selling tickets and banking the cash).

Funders

TRAMPS has received grants from the following: Grants have been used to set up the group and buy the equipment. We currently don’t receive any assistance with on-going costs, and so all income generated from film shows is invested back into the group.

Equipment

TRAMPS owns the following equipment: As a rough guide, the system can be transported in a medium sized car with the rear seats folded down.

Other TRAMPSes

There are other web sites called TRAMPS over which we have no control and with which we have no relationship beyond the accidental similarity of name. Sadly, at least one of them is one with which we certainly would not wish to have any relationship.
