Sounds like a good idea. Would anyone be willing to organise
one?

You would need a hall and access to a projector.
I should have already seen it in Seattle but it rained all day
and by the evening, there was no-way they could hold the out
door event, so it got cancel :(
PS When the notification first came out I noticed a mistake,
they had the 19th or the 26th Oct that the event had to be
published by :o I let them know and see they have now corrected
it but no message back saying thank you :( In fact my comment
has now been deleted :P

Have access to a projector :)
Don't think I'll have time to organise an event around then
though :(
But happy to help (e.g with the projector) if someone else wants
to :)

Wonder if Groundspeak are looking for people to arrange large
events to be allowed to download and show the films? If you have
a projector and have about 10 people that might come and watch
they may not be so enthusiastic to let the films be downloaded
compared to hiring a hall and having 100+ people coming to
watch.
With larger events such as that other complications like public
liability insurance may come in to play. If kept small and
uncomplicated I would be happy to help out where I could.

What I don't like is:
--- Quote ---
> If Geocaching HQ determines your event meets the requirements
for GIFF Weekend, you will be provided with the file containing
the GIFF 2015 film reel and your event will be added to HQ’s
bookmark list of GIFF Weekend Events. If your event is not
approved by Geocaching HQ, you will be notified. We recommend
you then notify your guests that you will not be showing the
GIFF 2015 films.
--- End Quote ---
So, you have gone to the trouble to find a venue, organise the
event, sort out the equipment and then GS say no :(

Hmm hadn't noticed that, that's not good :-\
I think an event in this area in the right venue would
potentially attract 30-50 people - especially if there's not
another one nearby.

If our new hall
HTML http://www.urvh.org/
was open (it might be by then), I would be
tempted to organise the event with a small entrance charge to
cover the hire of the hall. It can easily seat 100 but don't
think we've got 100 chairs!

Wow, fantastic village hall [member=3]walktall[/member] (just
looking at the photos)
That would be a great idea - could possibly add some chairs, but
not many :D.
Think the small entrance charge wouldn't be a problem, if
anything it would make it seem like more of a 'cinema' event.
:D.
Could get popcorn etc too ;D
