Sober yet isolated, she struggles to shake off the shadows of a troubled childhood and the turbulence of her recent city life.

Thelma (12)
(Running time 1 hour 39 mins.)
DIRECTOR: Josh Margolin CAST: June Squibb , Parker Posey, Clark Gregg
Inspired by a real-life experience of director Josh Margolin’s own grandmother, THELMA puts a clever spin on movies like MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, shining the spotlight on an elderly grandmother as an unlikely action hero. With infectious humour, Margolin employs the familiar tropes of the action genre in hilarious, age-appropriate ways to tackle aging with agency. In the first leading film role of her 70-year career, Squibb portrays the strong-willed Thelma with grit and determination, demonstrating that she is more than capable of taking care of business – despite what her daughter Gail, son-in-law Alan, or grandson Danny might believe.

We have been lucky as a village to have a monthly Film Club at the Comrades Hall for some years now. There is a small team of volunteers who work behind the scenes so that we can deliver a film each month for everyone to enjoy. However, after some consideration, both Emma Myers and myself have decided that after nearly 5 years of being involved in Film Club, it is time for us to step down, have a rest and give new volunteers the chance to keep this valued group going forward. The new subscription year is due in November 2024, so the October film will be both mine and Emma’s last for the Film Club.
All of us in the film club team bring different skills to the table, whether it be technical support, organising admin, or running the bar and helping out on the night. If anyone would like to be involved and join our film club team, please feel free to contact either Emma (broadwindsorem@gmail.com) or Margaret (07796 454203) to see where your skills could be put to good use.
Lastly, I would like to express my personal thanks to all those in our film club team who have faithfully helped out over the years. Let’s now look forward to the continuation of film club for everyone’s enjoyment.
All are invited to come along to Bernards’ Place in the Square at 6.30pm on Thursday, 30th November to see the village’s Christmas tree lights be switched on for the festive season
This will be followed by carol singing, minced pies and mulled wine served at The White Lion.

In a brand new one man show, ‘Unlock Me & other Lockdown Laments‘, Steve Knightley will perform material that surfaced over two years of isolation and inactivity. Songs such as the Bristol Slaver and You’ll Get By were refreshed by headlines and current affairs whilst classic covers such as Forever Young and The Boys of Summer struck a chord with the thousands that tuned in to his hours of online content.
Insights, anecdotes and a bunch of new songs will attempt to chronicle and draw a line under an extra episode in all our lives. BBC Radio 2 commented “Committed and distinctive songs of love, conscience and history” .
Steve will be performing at Broadwindsor’s Comrades Hall (High Street, Broadwindsor, DT8 3QP) on Friday, 29th September

Can you imagine spending your holiday in Antarctica? Or becoming best friends with a penguin? When Georgia goes to visit her big sister Helena, all she wants is to explore the big frozen continent outside her bedroom window. While Helena is focused on completing her chores, Georgia discovers a giant iceberg on a collision course with the nearby penguin colony. If she can’t journey across the ice in time to warn them, then everyone’s in danger. She might need some help …. A brrr-illiant adventure filled with puppetry, jokes and a heart-warming original story.
Refreshments will be on sale – cash only please!
