So, If the Covid levels stay as they are, we plan to show the movie "To Sir, With Love" on Sunday, 10th April at 6.30 pm in the Mapua Community Hall. Bring your own chair and drinks etc if you wish, but please be prepared to stay in your own bubble, with a wee space between you and the next bubble
Some of us go to the Sprig & Fern for a meal at around 5pm, and there will be a table reserved for any who would like to join us.
We have some excellent movies planned for coming winter, and this will be the first one for this year. So, we look forward to seeing you there. We have all missed the monthly occasion and all of you.
All income from this event will go towards the Mapua Community Hall!
Cheers,

This is a wonderful little film which provides a snapshot of secondary school life in the late 1960s. It's one of those films which may have a fairly simplistic storyline, but don't be fooled by the deceptive simplicity:
This is actually a movie of great depth, exploring racial tensions, student/teacher romance, childhood vs. adulthood, and much more besides. It's easy to overlook these undercurrents given how subtly they're portrayed, but combine them together and you have a quite memorable movie.
Much of this film's success comes from the central casting Sidney Poitier, which must have been an unusual decision back in the day. Poitier makes the film his own and gives the movie a sentimental heart, although his emotions are hidden for the most part. His acting reminds me of the likes of Japanese actors such as Toshiro Mifune, displaying a stony face on the outset while putting across hints at the feelings bubbling beneath.
Elsewhere, we get fun scene-setting in the form of '60s music and dance, enhanced by the presence of pop starlet Lulu singing the movies theme song. Judy Geeson is also completely believable as the besotted student, and there are many familiar faces who would go on to future success (Patricia Routledge, Geoffrey Bayldon, Chris Chittell, Suzy Kendall). Although this is very much a feel-good film with scenes of sentimentality without being saccharine sweet, its realistic social atmosphere makes it a truly moving experience.
