 8th January Film Club At The Community Association

We start the year with new beginnings for the ECA. The new Film Club launches with the award winning film "THE QUEEN" starring Helen Mirren. For this film only there will be the chance for you book for an afternoon or an evening viewing. The film is brought to us by a touring film company who cover all of Dorset and Hampshire, visiting Community centres and village halls like ourselves. The standard, I find, is quite outstanding with top quality equipment and a great choice of films. We plan to show a film on the second Monday of each month normally in the evening. There is a set ticket price from the company of £4.50 and this will include some refreshment and of course a chance to meet new friends within the community. If you would like to bring your own cushion for extra comfort, please do, but we hope to have some new chairs in the very near future. We rely on your feedback for the future planning of this club so don't be shy; let us know what you think. Tickets will be available from Newsmag in the village who have kindly offered to sell them for us, as well as from Committee members.

Please telephone Alison on 377493 for reservations, tickets or information.
