London, 1946. Juliet (Lily James), a charismatic and freespirited<br />
writer, receives a letter from a member of a mysterious<br />
literary club started in Nazi-occupied Guernsey. Her curiosity<br />
piqued, Juliet decides to visit the island. There she meets the<br />
delightfully eccentric members of the Guernsey Literary and<br />
Potato Peel Pie Society, including Dawsey (Michiel Huisman),<br />
the rugged and intriguing farmer who wrote her the letter. As<br />
the secrets from their wartime past unfold, Juliet's growing attachment<br />
to the island and the book club, and her affection for<br />
Dawsey, will change the course of her life forever.<br />
Although we are still in <strong>August</strong>, plans are going ahead<br />
for our annual Christmas Party.<br />
This year it will be a BYO drinks, with food catered<br />
and held at the Zamia Theatre.<br />
More news later.<br />

As you know, we Silver Surfers sometimes<br />
have trouble with our computers. Yesterday,<br />
I had a problem, so I called Georgie,<br />
the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom<br />
looks like Mission Control, and asked him<br />
to come over.<br />
Georgie clicked a couple of buttons and<br />
solved the problem.<br />
As he was walking away, I called after him,<br />
'So, what was wrong?<br />
He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error.'<br />
I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless<br />
inquired, 'An ID ten T error? What's<br />
that? In case I need to fix it again.'<br />
Georgie grinned. 'Haven't you ever heard of<br />
an ID ten T error before?’<br />
'No,' I replied.<br />
'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.'<br />
So I wrote down: ID10T<br />
I used to like Georgie.

HAMLET by Venning<br />
Sunday 26th <strong>August</strong><br />
5.30 for 6.00 pm<br />
Bring your own nibbles and<br />
refreshments<br />
A gripping thriller and a<br />
tragic drama of nearly<br />
Greek proportions,<br />
Revanche is the<br />
stunning, Oscarnominated<br />
international<br />
breakthrough of Austrian<br />
filmmaker Götz<br />
Spielmann. In a ragged<br />
section of Vienna, hardened<br />
ex-con Alex (the<br />
mesmerizing Johannes<br />
Krisch) works in a<br />
brothel, where he falls<br />
for Ukrainian hooker<br />
Tamara. Their desperate<br />
plans for escape unexpectedly<br />
intersect with<br />
the lives of a rural cop and his seemingly content wife.<br />
With meticulous, elegant direction, Spielmann creates a<br />
tense, existential, and surprising portrait of vengeance and<br />
redemption, and a journey into the darkest forest of human<br />
nature, in which violence and beauty exist side by side.<br />
