Wishing all our supporters a healthy and happy new year! We hope you have all enjoyed the films we have showed in 2023, thank you for your support.
We started the new year with a bang with Indiana Jones and follow up with three splendid British films which we hope you will find of interest.
The film club is always a little short of assistance on film nights, so if you would like to volunteer to help (no experience necessary) or perhaps even to join the committee, please let us know.
