Over 40s Dinner and Social Club

# Scrabble board game, Sunday, 7th Sept, 2.30pm, Alcampo, Brighton

We are making this a stable event: same place, same date and time (fortnightly), and on the weekends for people who work. We have a stable group of about 7 players, and we invite you to join us.

We invite you to join us for fun, conversation and a friendly game of scrabble. We have different tables for the level of scrabble you play: killer instinct games or easy-going friendly play.

Just look for the scrabble boards, that is us. ;)

Where:
Alcampo Lounge
84-86 London Road, Brighton, GB BN1 4JF
Located on London Road just south of Preston Circus.

Disabled parking:
Right outside Alcampo! There are two disabled parking spaces right in front.

It is easy to get lost or not find our group. Text or phone me on 0777 847 6884. -- Lynne

Bridge Club, Fridays, 12th Sept, 3pm, Modelo Lounge, Hove

Okay, admittedly, we are not the best bridge players around, and we don't always follow the rules. The type of bridge we play is Kitchen Table Bridge -- the rules are much looser, you don't have to know an encyclopedia full of rules, and you can talk during the games. We chat while we play. To be honest, the professional bridge players look down their noses at us, but we have a funner time playing then they do.

You don't have to know how to play bridge as we teach. :) I have taught 27 people how to play bridge. It is easy to learn and you are up and playing within two hours. Bridge is a great game!

We have about eight (8) people coming now to bridge, and you are invited. Come spend a lovely afternoon with us for snacks and drinks, companionship and Bridge.

Where:
Modelo Lounge
145 Church Rd, Hove, GB BN3 2AE
It is located on Church Road in Hove near George Street, Hove.

Parking:
Park in the Tesco Superstore parking lot, and walk back towards Brighton pass George Street, and it is just a few doors down from George Street on the north side of the road.

How to find us:
Ask for 'Lynne's' group or just look for the people with playing cards and chatting too loudly -- that's us! :)

It is easy to get lost or not find our group, phone me or text me on 0777 847 6884. --- Lynne

Film: The Great Gatsby (1974), Friday, 19th Sept, 7.40pm, Wagner Hall, Brighton

DIRECTOR: Jack Clayton​
STARRING: Robert Redford, Mia Farrow, Sam Waterson, Bruce Dern, & Karen Black.

Infamously tricky to bring to the screen, the 1974 adaptation is perhaps the most faithful to Fitzgerald’s novel, while wisely becoming its own distinct cinematic vision. Scripted by Francis Ford Coppola (of The Godfather, Apocalypse Now, and more), reworking an earlier draft by Truman Capote, and directed by Jack Clayton (Room at the Top, The Innocents), this version plays Gatsby as a kind of ghost story.

Film: The Salt Path, Tuesday, 23rd Sept, 2pm, Ropetackle, Shoreham

Walking to find the way to happiness. The Salt Path is about a true story of a couple whom lost everything when their house was reposessed by the bank. Saying 'What the fuck' to the world, they set out on their own exploration and on the way find themselves after great tribulations and trials (and a bit of rain -- welcome to England).

A 630 mile trek along southern coastlines with only a tent and the barest of essentials, this adaptation of the great book is both intelligent and impressive.

Director Marianne Elliott
Cert 12A, duration 115 mins, with subtitles
