A monthly afternoon showing of a full-length classic film from the 1940s to 1990s. When possible, the film is shown with a supporting programme including a contemporary newsreel and a cartoon. We offer refreshments at 1.30 and the show usually starts at 2.00 pm. Occasionally, a very long film can mean an earlier start time - the group will be informed beforehand. A full programme will be sent to all who enrol.
