Bodham and Beckham Film Club
 |
Please remember that the Autumn
season starts on Wednesday 15th September with 'Nomadland'. This
film starring Frances McDormand won numerous Oscars including,
Best Picture, Best Actress and Best Producer. As the title
suggests the story line revolves around a modern day nomad who
meets other nomads in the American West. One reviewer says it is
an 'excellent if unusual film'.
On Wednesday 29th September there will be a screening of 'To
Olivia', the true story of Roald Dahl and Patricia Neal. This
film stars Hugh Bonneville and Keeley Hawes in the leading
roles. The growing family move to the English countryside when
tragically their lives are turned upside down by the devastating
death of their daughter Olivia and their struggles to cope with
their loss. Review comments include, this was a really worth
seeing, beautiful highly recommended film |

Norfolk Churches Trust |
Callum Ringer & Kathryn Cossey are
cycling the Norfolk Churches Trust annual cycle ride on Saturday
11th September. The aim of the ride is to cycle to as many
churches as you can between 9am & 5pm. Money raised will be
split between the Norfolk Churches Trust and a nominated church
of our choice. This year they have chosen All Saints East with
West Beckham as it is currently closed and is awaiting work on
its roof which could be potentially costly. In 2020 they raised
over £300 and cycled to 40 churches. They are determined to beat
that in 2021. To sponsor them visit www.justgiving.com/callum-kathyrn
or pop a donation to The Red Hart.
As advertised on the page opposite, Callum and Kathryn are very
grateful that the money raised from the next Red Hart Quiz Night
is going towards their sponsored cycle total. The date is Sunday
5th September at 7.30 pm, it is £2 per person and teams of up to
six are allowed. |
