FILM SOCIETY: Welcome to our new season of films. Our first one to be screened on Thursday, October 5 is the coming-of- age story Moonlight. Written and directed by Barry Jenkins, it is a look at three defining chapters in the life of Chiron, a young, gay black man growing up in Miami. From a deprived background, his epic journey to manhood is guided by the kindness, support and love of the community that helped raise him. Terrific performances from Naomie Harris as Paula, his junkie mother, and Ashton Sanders as Chiron. Winner of three Oscars, the film is rich, sensuous and tactile and leaves one feeling somehow mentally smarter and physically lighter. The film is being shown in Ditchling Village Hall. Doors open at 7.30pm and the film starts at 8pm. Free coffee and biscuits beforehand and wine can be purchased by the glass. There is ample free parking behind the hall. Guests and temporary members are welcome for the sum of £5 payable at the door. Director Barry Jenkins, USA 2016, 108 mins, 15 Cert.
DITCHLING WI: Our August meeting this year was a coffee morning in a member’s garden and we raised £118 for our chosen charity, The Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance Trust. We had a lovely morning and sold cakes and produce. Our September meeting was an afternoon of maths craft, of drawing straight lines to form circles and other interesting shapes. This was a very clever and absorbing technique which we all enjoyed. Our next meeting is Thursday October 5 at 2.15pm in Ditchling Village Hall. Joe Mendill on Bob Newhart Rides Again. Visitors are always welcome. Any queries please contact Briony Coomber on 01272 845069.
