Dear Filmgoers
We are holding an Open Meeting at The Bear on Monday 27 November at 7 pm. Please come and join us for a glass of wine and a chat if you might like to be involved in choosing films for the next season.
You will be able to find out a bit more about the club’s history, what we do, how we work and what kind of help we would like from you. It will be your chance to ask questions, share opinions, talk about films and let us know if you have any specific skills you would like to offer.
