Sorry about later notice, but we have chosen this film, A Haunting in Venice, very carefully by waiting till it was seen by a member. His conclusion? – He found it extremely enjoyable and lots of fun. Who could resist Kenneth Branagh playing Inspector Poirot in a brain teaser gloriously filmed in Venice?
Total donation of $12 for pensioners and $24 for non-pensioners, includes movie ticket and a $40 lunch at Blossom Thai immediately following the mid-morning movie.
Bookings close 5pm Wednesday 11 October (ie – the day after World Mental Health day) Numbers are limited, first in best dressed.
