We are delighted to announce our first Icelandic film, hailed as a classic of our time, both thrilling and darkly comic. Juxtaposed between the breathtaking beauty of rural Iceland and industrial power plants, this film is a rare breed – a crowd pleaser about climate change! Halldóra Geirharosdóttir is brilliant as the mother of all green goddesses, taking on the government and big business as a fearsome eco-warrior, belying her public persona as mild mannered choir director, on a quest to adopt a child, This film was a favourite of the critics and has been called ‘a subversive romp’ … ‘moving, embracing, weirdly beautiful with a mythic feel’. The Guardian Do come and join us for a shot of vodka and something a little different. Compton and Up Marden School Hall, doors and bar open at 7:30pm and the film commences at 8pm. Tickets £6 non-members, £5 members. All welcome. Please note this film is sub-titled. All proceeds to go to The Woodland Trust. Please spread the word and help us get seats on chairs and trees in the ground!

We want to tackle the problem of pollution further upstream and highlight the direct link between all UK towns, villages and cities and the ocean around us. The scale of this clean - the biggest across the UK – will provide us with vital data to inform the Governments decisions on a new deposit return scheme. We will be able to specifically show the range of bottles and cans ending up polluting our islands, which need to be included in a new scheme. Join us on Sunday 27th October between 10-12 for this great community event. Other Information:- Gloves and bags are provided, but please bring gloves if you have them in case we run out!
