We were very sorry to hear of the death of Gerald Mee on 16th March at the age of 96.
Gerald was a member of the Board of Governors of the Film Theatre from its inception in 1974 and Chair of the Governors from 1979-2015.
He remained a member of the Governors after this and contributed to Zoom meetings during lockdown. He always maintained a cool head and sharp perception beneath a disarming and low key approach. He joined the governors as a representative of Stoke Cine and Video Society and was also Vice President of the Film and Video Institute and former President of the International Association of Amateur Film Festivals.
He was a caring man and his actions improved the lives of many people.
