This Autumn we have decided to change the times of our films, we will be showing The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel on Monday 24^th September 2012 at 7.30pm, doors will open at 7pm. Refreshments will be available and tickets cost £5.
The film stars Judi Dench, Maggie Smith, Bill Nighy and Tom Wilkinson. For a disparate group of English pensioners retirement takes an unconventional turn when they abandon their homeland, enticed by advertisements for THE BEST EXOTIC MARIGOLD HOTEL, a seemingly luxurious sanctuary for “the elderly and beautiful” in Jaipur, India. On arrival, they discover that the hotel falls somewhat short of the romantic idyll promised in the brochure, but they are gradually won over by the ever-optimistic young manager Sonny (Dev Patel), and tentatively embark on a new adventure, finding that life can begin again when you let go of the past.
Our next films will be:

We Brought A Zoo Monday 29^th October 2012 at 7pm

Hope Springs Monday 26^th NOvember 2012 at 7pm

Our singing afternoon will take place on Monday 17^th September 2012, 2-4pm, tickets cost £2 and include a free raffle ticket and afternoon tea.  Bookings taken at the office.
