Although there is insufficient reliable information on concerts and such to warrant a bulletin of planned program’s; film information is a much more positive situation. All cinemas in our area are now showing films, albeit that they are restricting audiences with a heavy emphasis on protection.

Our two local venues of The Arc and The Bonington are both issuing programmes and in the past month Colleen and I have enjoyed four showings sitting safely spaced out over 25% of the theatres.

Please contact me if you would like to be included in the circulation of the calendar each month. This year I plan to separate off the cinema section into The Film Club and I will attempt to include a description of what each film is about and who is in each film.

When booking seats at The Bonington on line you are asked to select your seats from a seating plan which only offers safe seats. The bar is open and drinks both alcoholic or coffee are available to take into the film with you.
