Spanish Film Festival: Los Domingos

Let's go to the London Spanish film festival at Cine Lumiere! The movie is 'Los domingos' in Spanish and Basque with English subtitles. Directed by Alauda Ruiz de Azúa, ***Los domingos*** (*Sundays*) emerged as one of the most critically acclaimed Spanish films of the 2025–2026 awards season. The drama swept several major ceremonies, taking home top honours across best film, directing, writing, and acting categories. https://londonspanishfilmfestival.com/los-domingos/ Please buy your ticket (£16) before RSVP'ing YES to this event. Sundays tells the story of Ainara, a bright and idealistic 17-year-old facing what should be a straightforward decision: choosing a university degree. At least, that’s what her family expects. Instead, Ainara reveals that she feels increasingly drawn to God and is considering entering a cloistered convent. Her unexpected announcement shocks the family, opening a deep emotional divide and putting each of them to the test. A poignant and beautifully observed drama, Sundays is a profound reflection on faith, family, and the deeply human need to believe in something greater than ourselves. We'll meet at 8.15pm at Cine Lumiere. We'll make our way to our seat at 8.25. My seat is H11. After the movie, we will go for drinks at the Hoop & Toy pub near South Kensington station. ⚠️No-Show Policy: The Club is run by dedicated volunteers, whose time is important and whose efforts towards keeping the Club active must be respected. If you don't show up to three events that you have RSVPed to, you may be banned from the Club. Always update your RSVP if you're no longer attending please.

The Alt/Cult Karaoke Night

We did one of these at the start of summer and everyone seemed to have a blast, so here we go again! This is open bar karaoke, which means you don't have to pay, you don't have to sing if you don't want to, and in theory they have a bigger range of songs than your average booth affair. Better all round, right? As before, we will be doing this at [the Britannia](https://www.britanniamonument.com/whatson) in Monument, an easy walk from London Bridge and The City and well served by train, tube and bus. They also serve food, if you need to line your stomach. Karaoke starts at 9pm so let's meet half an hour earlier, get a drink in and get (re)acquainted.
