Drimpton Film Club – Wednesday 8th September, 7pm

“Summerland” is Drimpton Film Club’s September offering at Drimpton Village Hall.

Directed by Jessica Swayle. Alice Lamb (Gemma Arterton) is an investigative folklore debunker writing academic theses and is immersed in her research.  She is independent, argumentative, decidely crotchety and reviled by the villagers.  One day she opens her door and finds Frank (Lucas Bond), an evacuee, who has been assigned, unknowingly, to her.  Reluctantly she agrees to have him for a week but Alice discovers that Frank’s curiousity, innocence and joy for life awakens thoughts of a past love in Alice’s early life.  Tom Courtnay and Penelope Wilton play minor roles.

  • Drimpton Film Club Members – Free entry.
  • Guests – £4

Full Moon – Sunday 22nd August

August’s Full Moon is on Sunday, 22nd and is known as the Sturgeon Moon.  This is because the giant sturgeon of the Great Lakes and Lake Champlain were most readily caught during this part of summer.
For millennia, people across Europe, as well as the Native American tribes, named the months after features they associated with the Northern Hemisphere seasons, and many of these names are very similar or identical. The Sturgeon Moon is also referred to as:

  • Full Green Corn Moon, signalling that the corn was nearly ready for harvest.
  • Grain Moon,
  • Fruit Moon,
  • Barley Moon,
  • Wheat Cut Moon 
  • Blueberry Moon.
