GREENBANK FILM SOCIETY
The second full season
of the Greenbank Film Society drew to a close in April with the showing of
the classic Ealing Comedy, “The Ladykillers”, with the Session House
resounding to almost two hours of constant laughter.
Last season’s programme
comprised a short tribute to and retrospective of Katharine Hepburn’s
career, together with a selection containing musical, romantic comedy and
contemporary issue films. It is the committee’s aim to offer as near a
complete cinematic experience as possible and at present is hard at work
compiling next session’s programme and hopes the resulting list will meet
the members’ approval and that attendances continue to rise.
The format of the
evening is that the film is viewed with a cup of tea or other refreshment,
and afterwards a general discussion on the film takes place with anecdotes,
snippets of interest, how it was publicly received, bits of gossip etc.
thrown in. Have I mentioned the tablet!!
So if you like a night
at “The Pictures”, please come along; you will be made most welcome. The
new season starts on Monday 6th September and copies of the new
and enticing programme will be available soon.
That’s all folks!
Jim,

PARACHUTE JUMP
In June 2010
staff working at the co-op in Eaglesham Road, Natasha, Sarah, Graeme and
Kirsty , are going to Auchterarder Airfield to attempt a tandem parachute
jump from 10,000 feet. They are doing this in aid of Erskine Hospital who
provide nursing and medical care for ex servicemen and women from past
conflicts and also the most recent fighting in Afghanistsan. They rely
heavily on donations from the public. Any sponsorship would be welcome
This is the Sunday School’s main fund-raising
event and the money is used to help various children’s projects throughout
Scotland - last year, thanks to your help, we were able to make a difference
to four other churches.
We greatly appreciate all the help and
support we get from ex-teachers, parents and friends. Anyone who’d like to
help (you do not need to have green fingers) please contact Hilary or
Douglas **
