FILM MATINEES: "We're so sorry that we've been unable to start our films again after the Summer Break....Now, even though The Memorial Hall have assured us that there should be NO cancellation next time, unfortunately, and with great sadness, the 10th November film, Ealing Comedy classic: Whiskey Galore has had to be CANCELLED AGAIN!! The roof should be being tiled during this week, and the noise would be far too much to show a film: also, to stop the works on that afternoon just to show the film somewhat defeats the object of trying to get the work done quickly!!! So, it is as it is...and it's devastating that 3 films have gone, plus a Vintage Afternoon Tea Dance in the 3 months of overdue Roof repairs. Please keep the faith, and watch this space for updates and new event details. xx
