Thursday 24 January 2019, 8pm, Hurst Village Cinema at the Players Theatre: Cold War (15) Poland/Subtitles/2018/98mins; £4 members / £6 non members. A passionate love story between a man and a woman who meet in the ruins of post-war Poland. With vastly different backgrounds and temperaments, they are fatefully mismatched and yet condemned to each other. Set against the background of the Cold War in 1950s Poland, Berlin, Yugoslavia and Paris, it’s the tale of a couple separated by politics, character flaws and unfortunate twists of fate - an impossible love story in impossible times. From the director of Oscar winning Ida, this film has already scooped numerous nominations and awards around the world including most recently a BAFTA 2019 nomination for best film in foreign language.

Friday, 25 January, 8 pm, Hurstpierpoint Historical and Geographical Society: It was with great sadness that we learned of the death of our treasurer, Amanda Geel, on 31 December. Amanda had managed our accounts beautifully since taking over as treasurer in 2015 and she fully supported all our activities. She will be greatly missed.

We are always looking for new members. We meet on the last Friday of each month at 8pm in the Guides’ HQ, Trinity Road Car Park.

Further information from the Chairman, Bill Kent, telephone 01273 8332280.

Sunday 27 January 2019, 3pm, Hurst Village Cinema at the Players Theatre: Finding your Feet (12a) UK/2018/1hr 50 mins. All tickets £4. When “Lady” Sandra Abbott (Imelda Staunton) discovers that her husband of 40 years is having an affair with her best friend, she seeks refuge in London with her estranged, older sister Bif (Celia Imrie). The two could not be more different - Sandra is a fish out of water next to her outspoken, serial dating, free-spirited sibling. But different is just what Sandra needs at the moment, and she reluctantly lets Bif drag her along to a community dance class, where she starts finding her feet.

Tickets for all films: In person at Mishons, Hurst High Street; and www.hurstfilms.com
