Jayne proposed three films for us to watch this month (see below). Nominations have now closed, the votes have been counted, and the clear winner is Wild Tales.
Location: Spirit of Life Yoga, Lefktron
Date: Saturday, 28th October
Time: 19:00 onwards for a 19:30 start.
On the evening we will ask for a €2 contribution to defray the cost of wine and nibbles (see below).
When the film ends those who wish to leave can do so, but for those who would like to stay and discuss the film we will rearrange the chairs and provide wine and nibbles to ensure a convivial atmosphere for discussion underneath the stars.
