Scientology - Royal Fleet Club Meeting (Devonport)
On the 29th May 2016, a meeting was held in the Devonport Guildhall to present opposition to plans by the Church of Scientology for a new centre in the Royal Fleet Club building, Devonport, Plymouth, England.
The CoS purchased this historic building in 2010, claiming that it was needed for the ‘needs of its followers’. In fact, it already has a building in Ebrington St, Plymouth which is more than sufficient for the handful of members it has or is likely to have in the future.
Local resident William Drummond gave a presentation on why planning permission for this new centre should be opposed.
If you are a Plymouth resident and oppose what the CoS plan to do – contact Plymouth City Council Planning Department and let them know your views!

ENDEAVOUR We Shall Win
Endeavour, We Shall Win is a short, poignant film focusing on Plymouth in World War One. It looks at the naivety of the young men who signed up to war and the devastation WW1 had for the families and communities in the area. The film also looks at how life changed drastically for a generation back home and how people coped with so many soldiers returning with disabilities, both mentally and physically.
Animate Film Company aims to break down barriers and stigmas about disability, working closely with people who have a wide range of disabilities pushing them to the best of their abilities creating professional films.
