Les Quatre Cents Coups.
French nibbles and drinks, provided by Forum from 19.00 in cafe; raffle, provided by HTTA.
Please support this event.
We continue to have a strong relationship with the Forum cinema and this year we'll be showing French and German films alternately, roughly every couple of months, in association with the Forum's Wide Skies programme. The first one this month will be a classic François Truffaut film Les 400 Coups (400 Blows) and in November the German film will also be a classic - Die Ehe von Maria Braun (Maria Brown's marriage). Do let us know if there's a particular film you'd like us to request, although it will depend on the distributors as to whether it's available for hire.

French visit
Looking ahead to next year, the dates for the Noyonnais' visit to us have already been agreed: it will be the old Whitsun weekend which is still a public holiday for the French, although not for us. We hope that the slightly later date than recent years will mean reasonable weather for the occasion.
Committee Meetings
Our committee meetings are held monthly throughout the year, usually on a Monday at 7.30pm, upstairs at the Beaumont Hotel. Anyone interested is welcome to come along. Ring Mon on 01434 683330 for more information
