Film Club: Friday 19th at 7.30 pm. Film being shown is The Magnificent Seven (Original version), starring Yul Brynner.

The Club is anxious to attract new members. The subscription to members for the year is £20. We are unable to show films on an ad hoc basis due to the prohibitive cost which is £100 per showing and so have set up the Club with a private members licence which costs just over £100 per annum and means we can show as many films as we like. Ring Hilary on 01797 230205 for more information.
