SUMMARY:Village Hall Volunteering Day
DESCRIPTION:We need to get ready for the campers and the walking footballers when we open the old bowling green for the start of the season. \nWe have a To Do list as long as your arm. \n\nMany of you will already have reserved Saturday 29th to volunteer for the Litter Pick at 11:00am but we are hoping that you will have enough pent up energy and enthusiasm to help us with that To Do list as well.\nWe have the tools and materials.

SUMMARY:Film Night “The Blitz”
DESCRIPTION:Weston Sub Edge Village Hall \nBar open from 4pm for food and drinks \nMembership to the club at the door £5.00 \nFor more news about latest tiles join the email newsletter. \n  \n“The Blitz” \nSteve McQueen delivers a raw\, sensitive\, and brutal look at life in a bomb-battered London with “Blitz”. Right from the opening scenes\, the director throws us into a relentless chaos\, but not without moments of visual tenderness. The story follows Rita (Saoirse Ronan)\, a working-class mother striving to maintain some sense of normality amid the chaos. She juggles gruelling factory shifts\, volunteering in shelters\, and the challenges of raising her son George (Elliot Heffernan) in a world shattered by war. When Rita sends George to the countryside in hopes of keeping him safe\, the boy\, driven by rebellion and longing\, embarks on a perilous journey back home. This dual narrative-Rita’s struggle to endure daily life and George’s dangerous odyssey through a bombed-out London-highlights the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity. McQueen masterfully weaves these parallel stories with a constant undercurrent of tension\, keeping viewers emotionally hooked at every turn. There is a lot to enjoy from a cinematographic perspective. Beautiful tracking shots\, original camera angles and some impressive aerial images of a burning London. One very nice scene starts by showing abstract moving dots\, slowly changing into moonlit waves\, which are the backdrop for the German bombers flying over the North Sea. \nThis is clearly a film with a big budget\, and it shows. It is also a film which has a lot to offer: a thrilling story\, a spectacular war\, lots of excitement\, nostalgic songs\, and a mother and child theme everyone can relate to. And also one surprising member of the cast: Paul Weller plays Rita’s father.
