This Sunday (24th August) will be the village picnic that the Sports Ground Association are organising and the Film Society will have a stand. We will be launching our provisional programme for the new season, so please drop by to find out what we will be screening. More information is on forestrow.org. Printed programmes will be in the village in the next few weeks.

We have also updated the news component of our website. You can now comment on all news items and let us know your ideas for the future. You may also enjoy the article in today’s Guardian about the new film festival in Nairn in Scotland. Organised by Tilda Swinton, it looks delightfully comfortable, with bean bags and cake, and feels like where we could be going.
