Broadwindsor Film Club – Friday, 20th December

At 7.30pm at the Comrades Hall Friday, 20th December, Broadwindsor’s Community Film Club will be showing…

The Holdovers (15)

(Running time: 2hrs 13mins)

Directed by: Alexander Payne
Starring: Paul Giamatti, Da’Vine, Joy Randolph & Dominic Sessa

A Comedy Drama, from acclaimed director Alexander Payne, THE HOLDOVERS follows a curmudgeonly instructor (Paul Giamatti) at a New England prep school who is forced to remain on campus during Christmas break to babysit the handful of students with nowhere to go. Eventually he forms an unlikely bond with one of them — a damaged, brainy troublemaker (newcomer Dominic Sessa) — and with the school’s head cook, who has just lost a son in Vietnam (Da’Vine Joy Randolph).

Broadwindsor Community Film Club In Need Of New Organisers

An announcement from our volunteers at Broadwindsor’s Commuity Film Club…

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.

– Margaret Wing

Our sincere thanks to Emma & Margaret!

Steve Knightley – Friday, 29th September

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 🙂

Doors open at 7pm for a 7.30pm start.

A bar will be available (cards accepted) and there will be an interval.

Can you imagine spending your holiday in Antarctica? Or becoming best friends with a penguin?

A brrr-illiant adventure filled with puppetry, jokes and a heart-warming original story.

The Churchfitters Christmas Cracker – Saturday, 17th December.

The Churchfitters is a folk band like no other. A double bass made out of a saucepan. Heart-wrenching vocals accompanied by a musical saw or a glass harp. Foot-stompingly fast fiddle mixed with infectious funk-rock rhythms. And traditional tunes reinvigorated with mesmerising jazz sax.

Performing at The Comrades Hall on Saturday, 17th December, you’re advised to get your tickets early for a show preparing you for Christmas with their repertoire, traditional and original festive songs, surprises, novelties and of course – what you get in every Christmas cracker – bad jokes!

The three virtuoso musicians from England and France strut their stuff on a stage that bristles with instruments – adding flute, banjo, dulcimer, tin whistle, guitar, ukulele, electric hub-cap bass-bouzouki and a sackful of percussion to their ensemble. And let’s not forget the unique ‘bing-bong’ machine made out of hack-saw blades!

Tickets £10 & £5 for under 18s. Refreshments available.
