Winter Food & Flicks:
Whisky Galore! – Comedy Enjoy a Scottish-themed winter feast of haggis, neeps, tatties, a wee dram and more, followed by the usual delicious puddings all cooked by the folks of Chapel Lawn. Followed by the 1949 Ealing classic movie Whisky Galore! Why not dress the part and wear something tartan?! Please book via Christine Rogers, details below. We also have a supporting B movie that is not to be missed! We will be showing snatches of home movies taken by the Henderson family of Well House during the 1960s and 1970s which have come to light courtesy of Hamish. If you’re old enough to remember when the main film at the ‘flicks’ had a supporting B movie, you’re probably old enough to recognise the Chapel Lawn ladies’ rounders team. Do you remember the colour of Jack Adams tractor, and whose donkey walked down the road beside it? Are you the lady in a short skirt or the small boy playing on a pile of stones? All will be revealed at the Food and Flicks. |

| Saturday 31st Mar | The Princess of Montpensier (12A) – Costume Drama Bertrand Tavernier is in top form with this gripping, superbly mounted drama set against the savage Catholic/Protestant wars that ripped France apart in the 16th century. Based on a novella by the celebrated Madame de Lafayette, the action centers on the love of Marie de Mezières for her dashing cousin Henri de Guise, thwarted when her father's political ambitions force her into marriage with the well-connected Philippe de Montpensier, who she has never met. When Philippe is called away to fight, she is left in the care of Count Chabannes, an aging nobleman with a disdain for warfare, and soon becomes exposed to the sexual and political intrigues of court. | Bar & Doors 7pm, Film 7.30pm |

It's up to granny and Champion's beloved dog Bruno to perform a daring rescue, although they can rely on assistance from the elderly Belleville Sisters, a song-and-dance trio who once performed with Fred Astaire...
