Participants are encouraged to dress in a Greek theme – anything from ancient or modern Greece (for example, a Greek god or goddess like Zeus or Aphrodite; a mythical figure from Homer’s Odyssey like the on-eyed Cyclops or the fatally alluring Sirens; a Greek holidaymaker or an Olympic athlete).
Musicians will be playing Greek music (traditional and holiday) in the Kaffirs Beer Tent during the afternoon from 2.15 pm.
There will be an opportunity to take part in the Elgin Marble Hunt. There will be a prize for the entrant who collects all the Elgin Marbles during the afternoon and answers one “tie-breaker” question. Collect your entry instructions from the Raffle Ticket Stall opposite the Village Hall.
In addition, there will be numerous commercial and charity stalls and attractions for all the family, including:
· Oscar entertains the children with Punch and Judy and magic (from 3pm)
· Children’s races (at 3.30pm)
· The Bisham Band
· Cream teas provided by the WI
· A horticultural Show (entry form in fete programme)
· An art show
· A charity stall selling high quality Zimbabwe Crafts
· Victorian Children’s Carousel
· Laser Clay Shooting
· A tombola with many splendid prizes
· And a raffle(first prize - £200)
And many more beside.
Raffle tickets are on sale at Cookham Dean Post Office and on the day itself. Also watch out for a team of raffle ticket sellers going round the local pubs on the evening of Friday 8th September dressed as ancient Greeks!
In the evening, there is a “do” in the Village Hall (renamed Costa’s Taverna for the evening) called “Shirley Valentines Night Out”. Tickets, which are selling fast, cost £12.50 and include “home-cooked” Greek Food, music and themed entertainment and are on sale at Cookham Dean Post Office.

It is being held on Wednesday November 21 from 7.30pm - 9.00pm at the WI Hall in Cookham Dean. Cyndy Gray will be introducing the evening and leading the discussions, talking about the drugs most often used, what drugs look like and their effects, following on to what can we do about it. Some young people from Year 12 at Desborough will be talking about their experience of why young people take drugs, drug education, pressures, influences and what they think parents can do to help their children. PC Tim Alexander of the Thames Valley police, who acts as a schools' liaison, will talk about the local situation, the legal status, drug related crime and the police approach to drug education. There will be lots of time for questions and answers too. There is no charge for the evening. Refreshments will be available.

that will lead them home, over 1000 miles away. Tickets cost £6.25 (£5.00

David Hodson, operations manager and wine specialist at Cookham Tandoori is hoping to repeat the success of the first event in June where over 40 diners enjoyed an eclectic mix of fine wines with tantalising food. David, who oversees the daily management of the restaurant, says “we have been buoyed by the success of the first evening, where we combined some of our executive chef’s most appetising modern Indian dishes with a selection of superb wines from our ever expanding wine list. On July 7th we will present some delicious Australian and New Zealand wines which balance perfectly with the delicate flavours of Indian food. I am looking forward to welcoming patrons, both old and new to Cookham Tandoori, where they can relax in stylish, contemporary surroundings and sample a combination of great wines and great food”
For the ticket price of £50.- guests will enjoy a truly memorable evening with a sumptuous five course dinner accompanied by ten specially selected wines, all of which are supplied by Cookham Tandoori’s vintners, Italian Continental Stores of Maidenhead. Gordon Ritchie of Italian Continental Stores who will conduct the informative yet relaxed wine tasting on July 7th says “I am hoping to share some of the passion I have for quality Indian cuisine and fabulous wines with as many curious “foodies” as possible, in the friendly, fun and entertaining environment at Cookham Tandoori”

ADVENTURE at Norden Farm on Saturday 28, Sunday 29 and Tuesday 31 August at
8pm. Dave has already performed the show, his most successful to date,
around the world; now he is giving it a polish prior to recording it for DVD
release.
A googlewhack is what happens when two words are entered into the Google
search engine and it comes back with one, and only one, hit. If someone
told you you were a googlewhack, what would you do? You might ask them what
it meant. But I bet you wouldn't end up playing table tennis with a 9
year-old boy in a Boston basement. You probably wouldn't wind up in Los
Angeles with three snakes on your head either. It's highly unlikely that
you'd end up in a car with a gun toting dot-com millionaire en-route to
Mexico to buy coke (cola) and drugs (prescription).
Dave Gorman's previous shows include Are You Dave Gorman?, his worldwide
search for other people called Dave Gorman, which also became a book and
BBC2 series. He has made numerous guest appearances on programmes including
Have I Got News for You, Call my Bluff and Radio 4's The Now Show, and was a
co-writer of The Mrs Merton Show. Tickets for DAVE GORMAN'S GOOGLEWHACK

Saturday 25 September 7.30pm
A tense psychological thriller, showing as part of our Russian Autumn
season. Two young brothers' lives are disrupted by the return of their
long-absent father.
"Andrey Zvyagintsev's superb debut film... an old-fashioned, satisfying
piece of storytelling which looks languorously beautiful, while at the same
time fastening itself to your attention like the bite of a snake. The Return
unfolds like a mysterious and disquieting parable with no moral, acted out
on a beautiful but chilling canvas of pale watercolours. Zvyagintsev has
burst on to the world cinema scene as a vivid new talent." The Guardian

1635|20041003|/THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL (U)-Norden Farm|THE STORY OF THE WEEPING CAMEL (U)
Sunday 3 October 3pm & 7.30pm
This charming film blends documentary and drama in a story of a family of
herders in Mongolia's Gobi desert, who face a crisis when a mother camel
rejects her newborn calf.
"If Étre et Avoir had viewers hankering after a simpler life in a French
mountain village, then this film could get them taking up residence among
the shepherds of southern Mongolia. It's one of this year's must-see
documentaries. Rich with humanity and a quiet respect for conservation, it
excels both as an absorbing, ethnographical study of a pre-industrial
lifestyle and as an opportunity to get all mushy over the cuteness of
Mongolian toddlers and woolly camels. For all of the directors'
manipulation of the material, there's no fakery involved in the scene of a
camel giving birth. And, when the titular Bactrian does finally weep, it
might well bring a tear to your eye, too." Independent on Sunday

"Director Michael Cabot instils the right balance of tension, confusion and

Benjamin Warren sparks as the cocky, menacing Mick." Bristol Evening Post

Stanley Spencer served as a medical orderly at Beaufort Hospital near Bristol in 1915-16 and as a private with the Royal Berkshire Regiment in Macedonia in the Balkans from 1916-18. This service opened his eyes brutally to the world beyond what he described as his ‘village in heaven’ and had a profound effect on his life and his art for the next twenty years. His experiences provided the inspiration for his famous wall paintings in the Sandham memorial chapel at Burghclere, completed in 1933. These have been described as ‘one of the chief monuments of English painting in our generation’.
In his illustrated lecture, Spencer expert Timothy Hyman will discuss the artist’s wartime experiences in depth and show he continued to draw on them for a period of 20 years. Timothy Hyman was curator for the major Tate exhibition of Stanley Spencer. He is himself a painter and, like Spencer, trained at the Slade School of Fine Art. He lectures and publishes regularly.
This lecture is a special fund-raising event held in association with the Heritage Centre’s World War I exhibition ‘Lest We Forget 1914-1918’, which will open on 26th October.
Date of lecture: Thursday 28th October 8pm
Venue: King George VI Club, York Road, Maidenhead
Tickets for the lecture are selling fast and are available only from Maidenhead Heritage Centre on 01628 780555 (price £5 inc. complimentary glass of wine). Advance booking is recommended.

Richard Eyre directs a backstage comedy set in the 1660s. Ned Kynaston,
London's most celebrated leading lady, finds his career destroyed overnight
when Charles II allows women to perform on stage for the first time. His
former dresser, Maria, an aspiring actress who secretly loves Ned, is the
new toast of the town. Can she salvage his self-respect, and his career?
"A film that, despite being about theatre itself, is remarkably cinematic
and entirely unafraid to revel in the English language... an exceptionally
rich exploration of gender, ambition, sexuality, politics, ego and the true
nature of acting... an intelligent and witty experience that's thematically
rich and often downright funny." Empire

On the Saturday evening there will be a Gospel concert in St. John the Baptist church. The evening will be run by the Village Club, with all proceeds going towards the current Village Hall improvements. The choir is called the IDMC and is pretty good! The programme will range over a number of styles - including jazz, of course. Watch out for advertising and ticket sales.
On the Saturday lunchtime we hope to run a Jazz Café in either the Village Hall or the WI building - plans are not yet too advanced! This will have some three small jazz groups or soloists who will perform over the lunchtime period - with lunch being provided if required along with a bar.
As before, all three pubs will see jazz in their gardens on the Sunday lunchtime so there will be ample opportunity to pick up a wide variety of jazz over the two days.
Put this important event in your diaries and make up parties for the Sunday afternoon - you know it makes sense!
Lastly we are well supported by members of the Rotary Club of Cookham Bridge and a number of local sponsors who help defray the costs of the bands. If you, or someone you know, would like to be associated with this prestigious event please ring me and I am sure we will find ways of using your money to good advantage!

The claws are out in George Cukor's 1939 classic, when a high society wife learns of her husband's affair with a shop girl. The cast includes Norma Shearer, Joan Fontaine and Joan Crawford, who gets the film's most famous line, "There's a name for you ladies, but it isn't used in high society - outside of a kennel."
"This ensemble classic from 1939 has gaiety, charm and a heartfelt belief in monogamous love. A sugar-rush of pre-post-feminist comedy." The Guardian
"The fur really flies in this stylish chicks' classic... a screamingly bitchy showcase for a sensational cast - including not only 130 MGM actresses, but all-female dogs and horses too!" Empire

The London Classic Theatre Company presents Bryony Lavery's play. Three people - a mother of a missing child, an American academic, and Ralph, a loner - are drawn together by horrific circumstances. Please note that this play contains strong language and is recommended for ages 16 and up.
"London Classic Theatre Company has built a fine reputation for exciting and provocative touring theatre. Michael Cabot's excellent production can only add to that reputation. It's a play where words and nuance are of paramount importance and the three actors are simply superb. It's an intense, claustrophobic, utterly absorbing production, taking the audience on an as much of an emotional journey as its characters." The Stage

1999|20050726|/BROTHERS (15)-Norden Farm|BROTHERS (15)
Tuesday 26 July 7.30pm
When Michael is declared missing in action in Afghanistan, his brother Jannik takes responsibility for Michael's wife, Sarah, and daughters. It soon becomes clear that Michael and Sarah's feelings have developed beyond mutual sympathy, but when Michael is discovered alive the fragility of their emotions is constantly under threat.
"An interesting and powerful film from Denmark... The action interestingly cuts between domestic drama on the home front and the war, and Bier has a strikingly real and powerful sequence showing an attack on a helicopter. You don't expect action-movie thrills in a Danish arthouse film - but you get them here anyway. Bier shows a refreshing interest in giving audiences the longed-for pleasure of an engrossing story." The Guardian
2000|20050727|MACHUCA (15)-Norden Farm|MACHUCA (15)
Wednesday 27 July 7.30pm
A semi-autobiographical drama from director Andrés Wood. In 1973 Chile, just prior to the fall of President Allende, tension is rife. But in spite of this, two 11-year-old boys from opposing worlds - one from a middle class household, the other from a slum - meet and become friends.
"Wood has such a sure touch with his young actors that the film's potentially hackneyed rites-of-passage trajectory feels newly minted. It's an exuberant, funkily scored and hugely entertaining piece of work, crafted with a lucid compassion that opens your eyes. Seek it out." Daily Telegraph
2001|20050728|MYSTERIOUS SKIN (18)-Norden Farm|MYSTERIOUS SKIN (18)
Thursday 28 July 7.30pm
As boys, Brian and Neil (Brady Corbett and Joseph Gorden-Levitt) were abused by their baseball coach. Now 18, Brian has no memory of the event, and believes the gaps in his memory were caused by alien abduction. Now 18, his search for the truth leads him to Neil, who has been affected in entirely different ways. Please note that this film contains scenes that some people may find distressing.
"The movie is revealing and deeply affecting and both leading actors are first-rate." The Observer
"The immensely brave and ethereally beautiful new film from Gregg Araki... magnetically composed, fluid, almost lyrical, melding its harrowing rites-of-passage story into many other things at once, and finding room for wonderful supporting performances from Michelle Trachtenberg and Mary Lynn Rajskub... a stunningly distinctive achievement - a troubled lament for stolen innocence which turns trauma, pain and yearning into art." Daily Telegraph

The most expensive Korean film ever, and a huge success in its home country, this epic tale of brotherhood and heroism has been widely described as the Korean equivalent of Saving Private Ryan.

2006|20050806|/STRINGS (PG)-Norden Farm|STRINGS (PG)
Saturday 6 August 3pm & 7.30pm
Fantasy adventure set in a world of puppets, voiced by James McAvoy, Caroline McCormack, Sir Derek Jacobi and Julian Glover. A young prince sets out from his city, determined to discover the truth behind his father's death, unaware that his kingdom is threatened by treachery from within. Rated PG for mild fantasy violence and menace.
"The skill of the unseen puppeteers, plus a well-chosen voice cast, make the characters astonishingly expressive. The plot draws on Shakespeare and fairy tale, but has a modern sensibility... Just being innovative wouldn't be enough - this has real dramatic sweep and the touch of magic that makes the best fantasies more than simple escapism." Empire
"Who would have thought that a puppet film could be so compelling? [The film] makes ingenious use of shadows, angles and the marionettes' strings to create a fully imagined world." The Independent
2007|20050807|ONLY HUMAN (15)-Norden Farm|ONLY HUMAN (15)
Sunday 7 August 3pm & 7.30pm

Rafi sneaks downstairs to check on his victim and notices that he bears a striking resemblance to the family portrait of Leni's father... Subtitles.

or via e-mail at deborah@behrman.entadsl.com. Lovers of choral music now have a “must do” entry for their diaries with the inaugural concert of Chiaro, a new vocal ensemble, all soloists but
blending into a distinctive sound.
Chiaro’s exhilarating repertoire encompasses every period during the past 500 years, including neglected gems and contemporary works as well as familiar choral highlights.
This inaugural concert will feature Chiaro’s voices in
Vivaldi’s “Gloria” (RV589) and “Serenade to music” (Vaughan Williams), together with several shorter works representative of the diverse musical styles that will be presented in future concerts.
Many of Chiaro’s voices are already well known locally through previous musical achievements, in leading roles with local operatic societies and with some of the finest chamber choirs in the Thames Valley. Chiaro’s musical director, Howard Faulks, has conducted stage productions for local operatic societies as well as many choral concerts. Rhidian Jones, principal accompanist, gave an organ recital during Cookham’s Trinity Festival and until recently accompanied the Canonbury Chamber Choir.

Road, Marlow.
The fireworks, to be held on 5 November, have long formed part of the local community calendar, and provide an evening of fun and entertainment for all the family. R&SA has pledged £3,000 and, which not only helps to host the event, but also goes towards Longridge's fund raising drive to buy its current site from The Scout Association.
Graham Bucknell, Site Manager at Longridge Boating Centre, said: "R&SA kindly stepped in to support the event when our previous sponsor pulled out, and have really saved the day. Without the support of organisations like R&SA, we would struggle to offer our varied activities and would
deprive many young people." Brendan McManus, director ? commercial at R&SA, added: "We were more than happy to step in and help out Longridge, I sincerely hope a great night is had by all."

Polanski has spent much of his remarkable life on the run, and his empathy with the plight of the young orphan waif shines through in this truly memorable adaptation 2160|20051223| Oliver Twist (PG)-Norden Farm| * 19:30-21:40

2161|20051214|Broken Flowers (15) Norden Farm|A hilarious, quirky and poignant comedy starring Bill Murray.
Don (Murray) has just been dumped by his latest lover. He is compelled to reflect on his past when he receives a mysterious pink letter from an anonymous ex-lover, revealing he has a 19-year-old son who may now be looking for him.
Don is urged to investigate this ‘mystery’ by close friend, Winston, an amateur sleuth, and reluctantly takes to the road on a cross-country trek in search of clues from four former flames. Unannounced visits to each of these women hold new surprises as Don haphazardly confronts both his past and his present. Written and directed by the legendary Jim Jarmusch, with a superb supporting cast including Sharon Stone, Jessica Lange, Tilda Swinton and Julie Delpy. 2162|20051216|The Gruffalo's Child-Norden Farm|10:30

A chronicle of the eventful life and suspicious death of Rolling Stones co-founder Brian Jones (Leo Gregory). Not so much a straightforward biopic, but a murder mystery and intense psychodrama, this note-perfect pastiche of Sixties rock 'n' roll decadence, has at its core the relationship between drug-addled fop Jones and working class builder Frank Thorogood (Paddy Considine).
The film begins with a corpse in the swimming pool and then unfolds through a mosaic of flashbacks. Frank is nominally hired to do some work on Jones' dilapidated country mansion. Before long, Frank is intoxicated by Jones' charisma and becomes the rock star's dependable cook, minder and drug buddy, as well as the object of head games for which the slightly sadistic Jones has a penchant 2168|20060112| /Stoned (15)-Norden Farm 19.30|Biopic of the life and strange death of Rolling Stones founder member and rock legend Brian Jones.

He and his wife, who sell cakes and alarm clocks in a Mexico City underpass, have kidnapped a baby, but the child accidentally dies that morning. The child's death shakes Marcos to the core and he tries to cope with his inner struggle to come to terms with his conscience.
This is an uncompromising, sexually explicit and at times disturbing vision of human folly - though at the same time, one remarkably open to the possibility of redemption and grace. Subtitles 2170|20060107|/Mrs Henderson Presents (15)-Norden Farm |3pm and 7.30pm
Judi Dench stars in this true-life story, set in pre World War II London, of an eccentric society figure, the determined seventy year old Laura Henderson, who founded the historic Windmill Theatre. Aided by equally formidable and tenacious theatre manager Vivian Van Damm (Bob Hoskins), this wonderfully argumentative pair took advantage of a legal loophole which allowed them to show entirely nude models on stage - provided they didn't move a muscle. From then on it was an easy step to a musical extravaganza, which became a scandalous success. Features the big screen debut of Will Young. 2171|20060108|/Mrs Henderson Presents (15)-Norden Farm |3pm and 7.30pm

From the director of ‘City of God’. When his passionate human rights activist wife Tessa (Rachel Weisz) dies suspiciously in a remote area of Kenya, mild-mannered English diplomat Justin Quayle (Ralph Fiennes) decides to investigate the crime himself, treading on the toes of the British High Commission.
Haunted by remorse and rumours of his wife's infidelities, he uncovers a web of intrigue and deception which points the finger at the upper echelons of political power. As Justin digs deeper into Tessa's work, especially her criticism of experimental drug trials in Africa, he discovers a trail of conspiracy and corporate greed which has claimed innocent lives and threaten his own.

2184|20060117|Innocence (15)-Norden Farm|Innocence (15)
Dir: Lucile Hadzihalilovic, Bel/Fr 2004, 115 mins
A new pupil arrives in a girls' boarding school deep in a forest, delivered in a coffin-like box. Fitted out by the other girls of her house in the uniform of white dress, DM boots and purple hair ribbon, she is inducted into the rules of her new home. Days are regulated and by-and-large tranquil but where do the older girls go at night? Innocence teases the audience with a deepening sense of mystery and menace, provoking the question of what the title word means and its place in the film. Miraculous performances from a very young ensemble in a surreal dream of a film, the directorial debut of Lucile Hadzihalilovic. Evidence of a quietly compelling cinematic vision, this is a feminist, lightly Gothic work that radically confounds expectation. Subtitles 2185|20060115|/The Great Dictator (PG)-Norden Farm|The Great Dictator (PG)
Dir: Charlie Chaplin, US 1940, 126 mins
Chaplin’s first all-talking feature film
In dual roles as a humble Jewish barber and dictator Adenoid Hynkel, Chaplin combines trademark slapstick with sharp political satire. In 1940, when Hollywood was reticent about Judaism and plenty of influential Americans thought the European war need have nothing to with them, Chaplin launched this heartfelt satirical assault on Hitler and anti-Semitism. 2186|20060114|/Guy X (15)-Norden Farm|Guy X (15)
Dir: Saul Metzstein, UK/Can/Ice/Ger 2005, 101 mins
Set in 1979, with the US and USSR in the midst of the Cold War, the film sees Corporal Rudy Spruance lost - dropped off (literally) by plane at the top-secret Qangattarsa military base hospital in the frozen wastes of the Arctic.
He is mistaken for another soldier entirely, and comes under the demented command of Lane Woolwrap. The Army doesn't make mistakes, he's told... but how can he establish his own identity? And who is the mysterious invalid, known only as 'Guy X', in the underground? Stars Jason Biggs, Natascha McElhone and Jeremy Northam. 2187|20060126|LOCAL MP’S TO SPEAK ON CLIMATE CHANGE|Theresa May and Adam Afriye, MPs for Maidenhead and Windsor, have both agreed to speak at a public meeting on Climate Change being organised by Maidenhead and District Friends of the Earth. The meeting, entitled "What are our Politicians doing about Climate Change?", will be on Thursday, 26 January at the United Reformed Church in West Street, Maidenhead and starts at 8pm. The keynote speaker will be Martyn Williams, senior parliamentary campaigner for Friends of the Earth.
The UN climate talks in Montreal and the announcement by both the Government and the Conservative party of reviews of energy policies show that the problem of meeting future energy requirements without adding to carbon dioxide emissions is now top of the political agenda. "The willingness of both local MP's to speak at our meeting shows how seriously the issue of Climate Change is now being taken at parliamentary level", said local FOE member Kath Pinto.
Friends of the Earth are hoping that as many MPs as possible will sign up to Early Day Motion 178. This is a proposal for a Bill committing the Government to 3% annual reductions on carbon dioxide reductions for the next 50 years. Already over 300 MPs have shown their support by signing the motion.
Admission to the meeting is free and there will be a chance for members of the audience to question the speakers
For those keen to find out how to do their bit towards reducing carbon dioxide emissions, there will be a display by local suppliers of renewable energy and energy efficient appliances. There will also be an opportunity to talk to these suppliers before and after the meeting.

Sub-heading: Dorney Lake, Saturday 15 April 2006
Asthma UK is extremely excited about its first ever and very own 10km fun run. This is your chance to take part in a race at one of Britain’s premier sporting venues and raise funds to improve the lives of people with asthma.
The run is set in 400 acres of beautiful parkland surrounding Dorney Lake, Eton College’s rowing centre near Windsor. The flat running course includes private roads and cycle paths, so it is an ideal location whether you are a fun runner or hoping for a more competitive finish time.
‘Exercise is good for everyone, including people with asthma,’ said Gary McGinn, Asthma UK’s Event Manager. ‘This event will be a fantastic opportunity to join hundreds of other people with asthma and prove that asthma doesn’t need to hold you back.’
The event will take place on Easter Saturday and we have planned a special Easter Egg hunt for all our young spectators, starting at 11am. Lunch, snacks and refreshments will be available on the day. With something for everyone, the event promises to be a great family day out and we look forward to seeing you there.
If you’ve never run before now is the time to take up the challenge in 2006. Our Event Team is on hand to help you with your training and fundraising. But if you don't fancy running you can still get involved. Asthma UK are looking for volunteers to help out on the day, contact the events team at Asthma UK for more details.

The latest eagerly-awaited movie from Cameron Crowe, follows the (mis)fortunes of Drew Baylor (Orlando Bloom). Suicidal after his design for a running shoe costs his company a billion dollars, Drew is rescued from the brink when his father dies, and he has to go home to Kentucky to attend to his affairs. Along the way, he meets a kooky air stewardess (Kirsten Dunst) who helps him reconnect with life and love in a touching comedy-drama that draws heavily on Crowe’s own life. Also stars Susan Sarandon, Alec Baldwin and Jessica Biel. 2210|20060125|The Beat that my Heart Skipped (15)-Norden Farm|Steeped in the sights and sounds of present day Paris, this is an audacious remake of James Toback's 1978 cult classic Fingers.
The film tells the story of Tom (Gallic heartthrob Romain Duris), a French urbanite torn between the seedy criminal underworld of his father and his desire to become a concert pianist in the image of his late mother.

Annual General Meeting
Thursday 23rd Feb at 7:45pm at the clubhouse
Come along and help us shape the club for the forthcoming year. We are firstly and foremostly a cricket club providing facilities and matches for the under 9s to the over 60's. This means well over 100 matches each summer. Each year we run the Col Garrett Cup - a six a side cricket tournament for the local pubs and restaurants to raise money for ourselves and charities. During the winter we have two darts teams and there is also a Petanque team. We host cricket matches for local businesses as well as provide a neutral venue for the Julian Cup - the world's first limited overs cricket tournament.

We have one event that will dominate the club for the next few years and that is the rebuilding of the pavilion. Any experience with building projects, funding, management etc would be welcomed.

During the winter several people have been updating the club rules. This will also be discussed at the meeting.

There are also elections for different officers of the club. We have a new treasurer, a new membership secretary and we are looking for a bar chairman. Come along and have your say. Your input is needed to make the club successful both on and off the field.

Thursday 16th March 7 p.m. for 7.30 start Norden Farm Centre for the Arts. Open NW Meeting.
I have organised a brilliant evening if I say so myself. 2 speakers plus of course members of the beat team.
First speaker:
Darren Firth, the Emergency Planning Officer for the Royal Borough. He would like to have access to Ringmaster in case of an emergency happening in the area. He would like to speak directly to Co-ordinators to elicit their help, in case of an emergency situation taking place. He would like to assess the possibility of NW members volunteering to take a role and possibly be trained up should such an emergency occur, or at least take part in training days as victims or difficult residents !!! he is particularly interested in anyone with a medical or teaching background. As the largest voluntary group in the country imbedded within the community we could be enormously useful as a link or liaison between the emergency planning teams and residents. Come along and here his proposals.
Second Speaker:
Insp. Mark Harling who is handling the transition from 'Community Policing' to 'Neighbourhood Policing'. This involves the discontinuance of the old Beats and their replacement with 'Neighbourhood Action Groups' these are made up of the Police, the Local Authority, Housing Associations, and members of the community placed to be of assistance to the groups ! Ring any bells !! These 'NAG''s will be rolling out from April. They will meet and decide the 3 priorities the residents of that specific area really want tackled. The police priority may be burglary, but if the NAG says, parking, dog fouling and speeding. Those will be the priorities for that 'Neighbourhood'. The group can of course change these at any time.
we will also have some police there for feedback.
The place to be !!

Friends since meeting as students at the Royal Northern College of Music, Esther Sofaer and Heejung Kim began playing together professionally as a piano duo in 2002.They draw inspiration from their contrasting cultural backgrounds as well as their extensive studies both in the UK and abroad.
They are passionate about raising the profile of the piano duet. The form is unique in that it is the only musical encounter where two players exploit the full range of one instrument, making it not only musically but also visually exciting. Their diverse repertoire encompasses contemporary and lighter genres as well as the standard classical works.

+ programme drawn from myriad baroque sources
Red Priest is one of the major success stories on the international Early Music scene today. Named after the flame-haired priest, Antonio Vivaldi, this extraordinary English ensemble has re-defined the art of baroque music performance, combining the fruits of extensive research with swashbuckling virtuosity, creative re-composition, heart-on-sleeve emotion and compelling stagecraft. The group performs largely from memory, allowing an operatic level of freedom and interaction, and its highly imaginative programmes are drawn from myriad baroque sources to create a kaleidoscopic range of moods and colours.. 2317|20060401|Stanley Spencer Gallery- Summer Exhibition|Summrer exhibition-Stanley Spencer Gallery.

Norden Farm
7.30pm
The story of how communities can be marginalised in 21st century Europe is the subject of this award-winning film being shown locally for the first time with the support of our local Amnesty International group.
Pavee Lackeen, released earlier this year, presents an unflinching portrait of the travelling people of Ireland, a community often living in Third World poverty in a modern, prosperous country. The film uses travelling people playing characters near to their own, and follows Winnie through several weeks of her life as she struggles with her identity as a young Traveller girl in contemporary Ireland.
It’s a beautifully made film as well as being thought-provoking. There will be a collection for Amnesty during the evening as well as the opportunity for discussion about the issues raised. Tickets can be booked with Norden Farm on 01628 788997, or contact Mike Copland for Amnesty on 01628 630375.

at Blake's Lock for the weekend of Friday 28th - Sunday 30th April, open from
10am-4pm.
The exhibited artists won our competition that asked artists to remix either
the town of Reading or existing works on the Remix Reading web site. Winning
entries came from a wide range of individuals, from professional artists to
children in a local refugee support group.
All of the works are released under Creative Commons licenses, which allow you
to customise your copyright so others can use, share and remix you work.
Remix Reading stands in the company of the Beastie Boys, Brazilian culture
minister Gilberto Gil and many other supporters of Creative Commons in
hosting this exhibition. Visitors are encouraged to create their own
remixes of exhibited works and share them on our web site. It was the use of
these licenses for the original works that allowed many of the exhibited
artists to create their winning entries.
Ali Clark, curator, said: "The exhibition will be a celebration of the diverse
culture of Reading, and of the creative freedom promoted by Remix Reading. I
hope many people will be inspired to create and share their own remixes with
the community."
Details of the exhibition, including the address of the gallery, are here:

Junebug (15)
This insightful and pleasing tale of family tension in suburban North Carolina begins when son George (Alessandro Nivola) turns up after a long absence to pay a visit to his family home with new wife Madeleine (Embeth Davidtz) in tow. Madeleine's a metropolitan, British-born art-dealer and George's family are no-nonsense, small-town Christians who have yet to meet their new daughter-in-law. The lines, it seems, are drawn for an almighty culture clash.

U-Carmen eKhayelitsha (12A)
U-Carmen eKhayelitsha was in official selection in the Cannes Film Festival Tous les Cinemas du Monde and is a feature film sung and spoken in Xhosa, one of South Africa's eleven official languages. Based on Bizet's opera Carmen, this classic tale of the destruction of a woman who cannot and will not become what men want her to be culminates into one of the most gripping and tragic finales of all time. First time British director, Mark Dornford-May, uses his experience as a theatre director to give the film a fresh improvisatory energy, and it won the Golden Bear for Best Film at last year's Berlin Film Festival.

2436|20060816|An Evening with Earl Okin|An Evening with EARL OKIN – Musical Genius and Musicians Magician
Earl's musical and comedic heroes include Duke Ellington, Tom Lehrer, Charlie Chaplin, Benny Carter, Caruso, Mozart and Puccini. But what 'Musical Genius and Sex Symbol' showcases is Earl's obvious love and knowledge of the Bossa Nova - what Earl describes as 'those wonderful crunchy chords, the major sevenths and demented seventeenths'. Earl first visited Brazil in 1975 and has met and performed with many of the country's music legends, including Elis Regina, Gal Costa, Joao Gilberto and Caetano Veloso. He's appeared some of Brazilian TV's most high-profile chat shows and played some of Rio's most important Bossa Nova venues.
'I'm definitely a musician who does comedy,' says Okin. If you could make people laugh between the songs, it was like a bit of cheese with the wine. But it’s not for this reason – or at least not entirely – that he’s also referred to as Ol’ Horny Mouth. Instead, that moniker comes from his astonishing ability to recreate a small brass section, without the need for any sort of instrument.
Jazz Eddie - I have had Earl Okin in my collection for a long time and it is a constant reference of mine as to the lighter and amusing side of Jazz; Earl is clearly underwritten by his devotion to this normally very serious subject which makes him such a universally appealing and unique performer.

Training courses include:
. Funding
. Getting started
. Consultation and engagement

Cllr Simon Werner, chair of the Royal Borough's Community Partnership said, "Community planning involves local people addressing the issues that affect them, making positive changes in their neighbourhood, using existing skills and new ones through free training. There are several community planning groups already in existence within the borough and we wanted to ensure everybody who wanted to be could become involved."
Cllr Werner went on to say, "This is a fantastic opportunity as everyone benefits; individuals and communities. If you haven't already signed up - come along and see what it's all about!"
Volunteers sign up for free training...
The launch will take place at the Council Chamber at the Town Hall between 10am and 1pm with FREE refreshments and lunch provided.
If you feel you would like to attend the launch to find out more about community planning and/or training opportunities within the borough could you please email: ticktock@rbwm.gov.uk or phone Kirsty on 01628 685651.

Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca was his first Hollywood film and his first assignment for Gone With The Wind producer David O. Selznick. When a naive young woman marries a rich widower, they settle in his gigantic mansion, where she finds the memory of the first wife maintaining a grip on her husband and the servants. A beautifully nuanced study in guilt and anxiety about sex, money and class, Rebecca continues to hold audiences spellbound with its beguiling blend of romanticism and nightmarish suspense. Based on Daphne du Maurier's international bestseller, the film won two Academy Awards including Best Picture. Starring Laurence Olivier, Joan Fontaine, George Sanders, Judith Anderson, prepare to be enthralled as this classic comes to the big screen on a brand new print from the British Film Institute.

Mountain Patrol (Kekexili) (15)
Kekexili, the largest animal reserve in China, is home to many rare species, including the Tibetan antelope. Prized for its skin that is used in making luxurious scarves, the antelope's numbers have been dwindling drastically in the past twenty years as poachers slaughter the animals, often hundreds at a time. In the 1990's local Tibetans formed a volunteer patrol to try to stop the illegal poaching - sometimes at the cost of their own lives. Kekexili chronicles the life-and-death struggle between these volunteers and the poachers, and takes place in the 5,000-meter high Kekexili on the Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau.

However, Bernie's family is increasingly distracted and the scale of Bernie's Bar Mitzvah diminishes daily.

Gianni Boscarino is an Italian pianist and composer, currently based in London. He has been playing piano for 17 years and has developed his original melodic/rhythmic approach under the guidance of Gareth Williams and Nikki Iles. The band has been together for two years and has gigged throughout London and other venues across the country. They provide a mix of original material and modern interpretations of jazz standards. Gianni also plays with the Tim Collinson’s quartet and with whom he has appeared at many jazz festivals across Britain, including Swanage, Swindon and Corsham (the band supported the Stan Tracy trio). Gianni’s music is beautifully enhanced by Chris Williams’s soaring alto sax. Chris is a versatile musician and is an integral part of the experimental jazz group Led Bib. The contribution of Nick Pugh - Bass and Vasilis Sarikis on drums helps to give the quartet its vibrant modern sound.
"This is a great opportunity to witness and marvel at Gianni's already prodigious yet youthful talent at close quarters. He has a fine fluid improviser with a percussive attack, worthy of comparison with his fellow jazz pianist Gwilym Simcock for invention. Gianni is destined for a magnificent future in Jazz" - Jazz Eddie / Concert Jazz.
"The light and vibrant piano of Gianni Boscarino was a revelation as his fingers skipped over the keys painting intricate sound pictures" Mark Sammut, Corsham Jazz.

The Page Turner (La Tourneuse de Pages) (15)-Norden Farm|Wednesday 10 & Thursday 11 January 7.30pm
The Page Turner (La Tourneuse de Pages) (15)
Director Denis Dercourt's fifth feature film (and fourth screenplay) was a hit at last year's Cannes Film Festival. Presenting a story close to his heart, Dercourt enters the world of classical music, a world he knows well as former solo viola player in the French Symphony Orchestra. After her chance of entering music college is ruined by the bullying tactics of one of her judges, pianist Melanie Prouvost is handed the perfect chance to wreak revenge, as she is invited to become her nemesis' page turner. The Page Turner boasts an excellent soundtrack (featuring selections from Schubert, Shostakovich and Bach), tight scripting and some wonderful edge-of-the-seat moments.
2623|20070112|Mischief Night (15)-Norden Farm|Friday 12 January 7.30pm
Mischief Night (15)
Mischief Night is director Penny Woolcock's third part of a trilogy of films, following the improvised dramas Tina Goes Shopping and Tina Takes A Break. Set in a Yorkshire town, within the divided communities that were brought to the collective consciousness by the Bradford and Leeds riots in 2001, the film focuses on two families, separated by a park and by what has become an accepted lack of integration. Woolcock tackles plenty of provocative issues to create a brave, ambitious and very funny film with plenty of spirit.

Pan's Labyrinth (15)
The Culture Show's Mark Kermode not only named Pan's Labyrinth as his film of 2006, but went as far as declaring it the best film he has seen in years. Directed by Hellboy's Guillermo Del Toro, it takes us back to the exquisite scenery of his 1993 film City of Lost Children. Described by the BBC's Film 2006 as "transcendent, passionate, full of beauty and endlessly affecting", Pan's Labyrinth takes us to a world created by young Ofelia, where she can escape the war-torn reality of her 1940's rural Spanish home but where she also experiences new dangers and strange creatures all of her own making.

The SIMON SPILLETT Quartet
The Quartet will be playing a "Tribute To Tubby Hayes" programme, including many of Tubby's own compositions. This will also include music written by Tubby which was never recorded on commercially issued albums - something of a coup!
Featuring :-
Simon Spillett - Tenor Sax
John Critchinson - Piano
Alec Dankworth - Bass
Spike Wells - Drums
Reviewing Simon's quartet for The Evening Standard, Jack Massarik observed that "though born in 1974, a year after Hayes death at 38, Spillett has absorbed the master's saxophone style to an uncanny degree" and encountering the quartet and "hearing them play Tubby Hayes originals like Off The Wagon and Song For A Sad Lady was like time-travelling back to the future" as Simon "produced a whole compendium of high-precision Hayesian licks".
Simon Spillett - Musician, Tutor, Composer and Jazz Writer
has been described as "a fiery saxophonist in the mould of the late Tubby Hayes", and it is Hayes who his work is most often said to recall, observers noting that Simon shares a fondness for fast tempos and sheer desire to create exciting no holds barred jazz. Indeed, Simon's quartet pays tribute to Tubby's genius at its club and concert performances, reprising some of Hayes own compositions, those associated with him and originals written by Simon dedicated to the spirit of the late great saxophonist. Tubby remains Simon's favourite jazz musician but he also loves and admires the work of many other saxophonists, including John Coltrane, Evan Parker, Stan Getz, Ben Webster, Dick Morrissey, Don Byas, Peter King, Stan Robinson, Branford Marsalis, Danny Moss, Sonny Rollins, Paul Gonsalves, Wayne Shorter, Alan Skidmore, Hank Mobley, Johnny Griffin, Zoot Sims, Joe Henderson, Bobby Wellins, Dexter Gordon, Al Cohn, Ronnie Scott, Junior Cook, Stanley Turrentine and Bob Berg.

Requiem (12A)
Whilst Pan's Labyrinth takes top spot in Mark Kermode's top films of 2006, this chilling exorcism tale sits at number three in his list. Requiem has been promoted as a more truthful depiction of the real-life events of the exorcism of Anneliese Michel, who died in 1976 at the age of 24, a German woman who was believed to have been possessed by six or more demons. These events had previously been the subject of Scott Derrickson's 2005 film The Exorcism of Emily Rose which was ridiculed for its apparent lack of factual basis.

|Wednesday 24 January 7.30pm
Romanzo Criminale (15)
Director Michele Placido is best known for making one of the best Italian films of the 90's, Un Eroe Borghese. In his latest film we follow the fortunes of a criminal known as The Lebanese, who dreams of conquering the Rome Underworld. Putting together a ruthless and highly organized gang he and his cohorts mix in terrorism, kidnapping and corruption from the 1970's to the 1990's. Chasing his gang over a 25 year period is Police Lieutenant Scialoia who not only aims to bring down this gang of criminals but also to win the heart of Patrizia, girlfriend of one of the ringleaders.
2645|20070125|Army in the Shadows (12A)-Norden Farm|Thursday 25 January 7.30pm
Army in the Shadows (12A)
Jean-Pierre Melville's Army In The Shadows, is universally considered one of the greatest and most gripping film portrayals of the French Resistance. From its imposing single-take opening sequence showing the Wehrmacht marching down the Champs Elysées, this epic and sombre film is one of Melville's finest achievements. Based on Joseph Kessel's popular war-time novel, Army In The Shadows benefits from the director's own experience of fighting for the Resistance to capture the spirit of the period. The film chronicles the lives of a group of Resisters, depicting their furtive strategies to outwit not only the occupying Nazis, but also - and most dangerously - the traitors in their own camp.
2646|20070128|

Esma's Secret (Grbavica) (15)
Esma's Secret is a tale of a young mother and her daughter living in post-war Bosnia as they strive to look to the future without getting tangled up in the past.
"I am fascinated by everyday life, but compared to war, it can seem ordinary, non-dramatic, even banal. Yet when the surface of this everyday life is scratched, the whole power of human emotions starts to leak out.

Gabrielle (Liebe meines Lebens) (15)
Wealthy Parisian Mr. Hervey makes his way home, unaware that his happiness will soon be shattered when he discovers a letter from his wife Gabrielle waiting for him on his sideboard. The contents of the message plunge him into newfound feelings of vulnerability and betrayal and the couple soon finds themselves engaged in a parry-and-thrust of emotions that stretch their ability to live in the same house. The Director of La Reine Margot tells an intimate and voyeuristic tale of a marriage on the brink of collapse.
2672|20070213|Deep Water (PG)-Norden Farm|Tuesday 13 February 7.30pm
Deep Water (PG)
On 31 October 1968 Donald Crowhurst left Devon to compete in the Golden Globe Solo race. Almost immediately he recorded deliberately ambiguous radio reports of his location. By early December, based on his false reports, he was being cheered worldwide as the likely winner of the race. On 22 April 1969 Robin Knox-Johnston was the first to complete the race, leaving Crowhurst supposedly in the running for second place. In reality, Crowhurst had been hiding for months. He had realised that if he appeared to have completed the fastest circumnavigation, experienced sailors would closely examine his logbooks and his deception in all probability would be exposed. Crowhurst ended radio transmissions on 29 June. His ship was found adrift and unoccupied on 10 July.

Jazz Reeds with a Scottish Accent
Featuring :-
Paul Towndrow - Alto
Martin Kershaw - Alto
Brian Molley - Tenor
Allon Beauvoisin - Baritone
The Brass Jaw Saxophone Quartet are a young group, part of the vibrant Scottish Jazz Scene.
This critically acclaimed group brings together the talents of some of the most creative saxophonists in the UK, embracing a vast variety of styles within their own compositions and arrangements, taking the format in a new direction, distinct from that of their predecessors, The 29th Street Saxophone Quartet from USA and the UK's Itchy Fingers. After their hugely successful National tour of the United Kingdom in 2005 which also saw them perform live on BBC Radio Scotland, Brass Jaw released their début album “BURN” in June 2006. “They riff and hustle with the groovy pep of James Brown's horn section or lay out lush voicings that sound more like an orchestra than a quartet. They mix solo features of considerable virtuosity with keen ensemble understanding and they slip into The Police's Walking on the Moon and Spanish-Cuban fantasies with the same ease and aplomb as they do jazz standards.
Above all, they communicate a feeling of enjoyment alongside the passion, a good time that travels freely from stage to audience.”
Rob Adams The Herald
"Altogether, an accomplished and ambitious ensemble who aren't afraid to enjoy themselves."
James Griffiths The Guardian

Featuring :-
Peter Downes on Electric & Acoustic Guitars
Andy Coe – Double Bass
Tim Bruce - Drums
The Pete Downes Trio – PD3 a matured and magical group with a mixture of Standards and Original Compositions for the mature jazz fan who loves ‘purity of sound’
PD3 - Tim Bruce (drums) and Andy Coe (double bass) complete the Trio as the rhythm section – "Tim is a very percussive drummer and he plays you can feel him listening. Andy is very visual and entertains the audience with his physical approach to the Double Bass – his extreme and unique bass playing not only providing a solid back line, but pulsing through on solos and driving the music along to Tim Bruce’s meticulous drumming. Pete Downes’ guitar work is unrivalled, but never over the top or self indulgent. He is a master of understatement and delicate phrasing, but when the track requires power, he’s there adding just the right amount of weight so as not to overpower or derail the beauty of the theme.
With influences that cover such a wide spectrum as Pat Metheny to Jimi Hendrix their first album “Street Scene” caught the attention of Jazzwise, Jazz FM and critic praise from The Guardian, The Observer and many other Radio Stations and newspapers. The eagerly awaited follow up album “Into The Blue.” is a further step on the road to a wider audience. On this album PD3 blend their infectious original compositions with totally fresh and inspired versions of popular songs from the 70s to present day in a way that simply underlines the incredible versatility of the trio and the ease in which they can provide accessable jazz routed music to a much wider audience.

Featuring:-
Paul Booth � Soprano and Tenor Saxophones
Stuart McCallum Guitar
Mike Gorman on Keys
Phil Donkin � Double Bass
Dave Smith - Drums
Tenor Saxophonist Paul Booth is very much a rising star at the age of 29, but his career to date is, if anything, more remarkable. Paul has been playing from the age of ten and started to play extensively on the North East jazz scene at the age of l3. The Royal Academy of Music accepted Paul at the age of 15 onto their four-year degree course in jazz from which Paul graduated with Honours. Winner of �The Most Promising Jazz Player of the Year Under 21�, judged by John Dankworth and Chris Barber in the televised �Young Jazz Player of the Year� competition when only 16. The following year he was voted �The Best Modern Jazz Player� in the same competition judged by Kenny Ball and Ronnie Scott. Ronnie Scott has likened saxophonist Paul Booth's style to that of the late Tubby Hayes - and John Fordham to the lyricism of Stan Getz and John Coltrane. At the age of 18, out of 400 entrants, he became the first non-American to win the prestigious Clifford Brown/Stan Getz fellowship in Miami .His influences can be heard clearly, however his own voice sings through in his playing and compositions. Paul�s versatility has gained him dates and tours with the likes of 60�s stars The Supremes and The Drifters and he also plays in the British all-star jazz group �Sax Appeal�, the Riverdance band and the UK Glenn Miller Orchestra. 'Blistering young saxist, a genuine prodigy.' (The Independent). Paul has recently joined Steve Winwood�s band and will be touring with them later this year.
He has an All Star quintet each of whom are of fine Pedigree and Proven Performance �

It is 1983 and schools are breaking up for summer. Shaun is 12 years old and a loner, growing up with his

But when an older, overtly racist gang member returns home from prison, the easy camaraderie of the group is broken, and Shaun is drawn into much more uncomfortable territory.

Born in the USA, he is torn between his all-American lifestyle and his Asian heritage, after he learns the reason for his unique name. The Namesake explores the ties that can both tangle and bind global families as they brave the modern vicissitudes of change.

The Peter King Trio
UK Sax Supremo - World Class Virtuoso
Featuring:-
Peter - Alto Saxophone -
Keith Michael - Drums
Nick Kacal - Bass.
This is excellent Contemporary Jazz Trio will grace our podium with their superb creative presence. A rare chance to hear Peter King strut his stuff without distraction and with a very sympathetic rhythm section! He is a walking authority on Charlie Parker and his own compositions in homage to the Master are a sheer tour de force. - Jazz Eddie
PETER KING, “the finest alto saxophonist that Britain has ever produced, and one of the finest in the world today” (Dave Gelly), continues to be a major influence on the World Jazz scene
A prolific composer and arranger, his most ambitious work to date is probably "Janus", a BBC commission, featuring his own Quartet and the "Lyric String Quartet".
Peter has composed a full length two act opera, "Zyklon", with the libretto by Julian Barry. A short workshop version was performed at the City University of New York on 13 Dec 2004 and received a standing ovation.
Peter is currently working on his autobiography, which is projected for publication sometime in 2007 and also a new Jazz Mass, to be premiered at Newcastle Cathedral.
Gene Lees
"I hear both Trane and Bird in his playing, but he is better than either of them."
Elvin Jones
”A wonderful musician, Peter King, of course, is a master of his instrument. People are aware of that here in America as well as in England”
Lalo Schifrin
"Peter King is one of the best musicians in the world." . . . who travels very comfortably in the language of jazz and at the same time, classical music. “I feel very lucky to have met and to have worked with Peter”.
”Congratulations (on your opera) ‘Zyklon’. “I was very impressed with your avant-garde writing techniques, and at the same time, your sense of drama”.
Nat Adderley
-“..World’s great Altoist, My man!”

Stewart Kane (Gabriel Byrne) is on a fishing trip in isolated hill country when he discovers the body of a murdered girl. Rather than raise the alarm immediately, he and his buddies continue their fishing and only report their gruesome find days later. The decision precipitates tensions within their town, most notably between Stewart and his wife Claire (Laura Linney). Deeply disturbed by her husband's actions, her faith is shaken to the core.

Police Day of Fun|I have been asked by HQ to send out this message.
Thames Valley Police invite families for a day of fun!
This Saturday 11th August, Thames Valley Police is holding a family fun day and is throwing open its doors to families to come along and find out more about policing.
The first open day was held last year, and proved a great success, with over 1,100 people attending. This year's open day will be held this Saturday, 11 August, between 10am and 4pm, at the Museum - which is within the grounds of Thames Valley Police Training Centre at Sulhamstead near Reading.
The event is being held to help promote greater understanding of the work of the various departments and specialist roles that make up Thames Valley Police. This year the family friendly open day will be better than ever, with a wider range of exhibits to see and activities to take part in, such as guided tours of the dog section and a chance to solve a murder mystery game.
Families will have the opportunity to look round the museum, which is packed with exhibitions about the history of Thames Valley Police, as well as collections including items from the Great Train Robbery of 1963, uniforms, equipment, medals, photographs and scenes of crime evidence.
Officers from some of the Force's specialist departments will also be on hand to give the public a personal insight into their role and work; the majority of which the public might not be aware of because it goes on behind the scenes. Roads Policing officers will be in attendance as will members of the Specialist Search and Recovery team, Counter Terrorism Wing (CTW) and the Firearms team. The Mounted Section is also taking part and will be bringing their horses to the event. The CTW and dog section will both be doing displays and visitors will also be able to go on tours round the kennels.
As well as input from specialist departments, people will get the chance to see the new 'Worlds Collide' film, produced with help from students at St Birinus School, Didcot, to let young people know about the dangers of replica firearms. The film will be followed by a talk from a Firearms officer. Visitors will also get the chance to see Irish dancing from the newly-formed Thames Valley Police Emerald Society, listen to a jazz band, see classic police cars, a police 'Tardis' and go on tractor rides around the site.
The open day is also part of the Thames Valley Police Museum's contribution to a regional family friendly marketing campaign which promotes museums and seeks to make them more accessible to families.
Museum Curator Ken Wells, a retired police officer and scenes of crime officer, said: "Although the museum is quite small it has some really interesting exhibits and we are really keen to let more people know about it. Visits to the museum have increased since last year's open day and we have now added three new exhibitions and revamped the Great Train Robbery exhibition."
Chief Constable Sara Thornton, who will be opening the event, said: "We are always keen to build stronger links with our communities and this is an ideal for us to get to know Thames Valley residents. It is also a great opportunity for members of the public to meet some of our officers and find out a bit more about what we do."
Parking at the site is limited and will be available on a first come first served basis. There is a £1 charge for adults, kids go free.

The War on Democracy (15)
The War on Democracy marks a landmark for the award-winning documentarist John Pilger. In his first feature-length film for the cinema, Pilger and director Christopher Martin demonstrate the reality of America's notion of spreading democracy and agues that, in fact, America is actually conducting a war on democracy, and that true popular democracy is now more likely to be found among the poorest of Latin America whose grassroots movements are often ignored in the west.

The Flying Scotsman is the remarkable true story of the turbulent life of cyclist Graeme Obree, who built his own bike out of washing machine parts and rode it to gold at the world championships. On the bike that he designed and built himself, Obree was able to adopt a new, more aerodynamic riding posture, shaving off those few crucial seconds from each lap around the velodrome. But the bicycle brought Obree into conflict with the World Cycling Federation, they rewrote the rulebook and went to great lengths in order to stop Obree from competing. Jonny Lee Miller stars as Obree.

Ten Canoes (15)
In English with Ganalbingu subtitles
It is the distant past, tribal times. Dayindi, played by Jamie Gulpilil, (son of the great David Gulpilil), covets one of the wives of his older brother. To teach him the proper way, he is told a story from the mythical past, a story of wrong love, kidnapping, sorcery, bungling mayhem and revenge gone wrong. It is a tragi-comedy, a cautionary tale of love and that, incidental to its central story line, also explores something of the 'old ways'. Ten Canoes is the first full-length feature film with an entire cast of native aboriginal actors and made entirely in indigenous Australian languages. The film won the Special Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival May 2006.

Molière (12A)-Norden Farm|Friday 28 Saturday 8pm
Saturday 29 September 3pm & 8pm
Molière (12A)
In French with English subtitles
Set in 1658 this is a dramatised account of the early career of French playwright Molière, and how it inspired his later comic masterpieces. Actor and playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, aka Molière, brings his esteemed performing troupe back to Paris after 13 years touring the provinces. Molière is adamant that true theatre is tragedy. Called away to the deathbed of a mysterious woman, he returns the following day, announcing a return to comedy. We then flashback these 13 years to see what happened when, in an effort to avoid his creditors, the 22-year old Molière suddenly disappeared. The film results in a wildly impressive French frolic starring Romain Duris.
3009|20070926|Shut Up and Sing (15)-Norden Farm|Shut Up and Sing (15)
Their music is filed under country-and-western, but the Dixie Chicks turn out to be more than a little bit rock 'n' roll in Shut Up And Sing. While on stage in London in 2003, a throwaway quip about US President George W Bush sparked a media maelstrom, chronicled in this gently inspiring documentary. It speaks indirectly about the erosion of free speech, which has shaken the foundations of American politics post-9/11. This film has won an array of awards in America.

In addition to an enormous number of live, studio, and video-taped performances in Los Angeles, the Stekpanna triumvirate also won the Battle of the Bands at the Musicians Institute in 1996 - the first jazz group ever to do so. The LA Weekly described that performance as “hip, happening and deeply groovy”; when they arrived in Britain to play at the Edinburgh Festival the Scotland on Sunday newspaper booked them to play at its 10th birthday party, Talk Radio UK hailed them as “the cream of the crop” and BBC Radio Scotland were quick to invite them to play live on The Usual Suspects programme, and then back again to play Live at the Lemon Tree; Jazz UK magazine endorsed these plaudits in a review of their debut CD Standin’ Tall: “a different musical path with impressive results ... The Guardian has also used the phrase “hip and happening” to describe the group.
Steve Kershaw has a lovely rich tone, and his solos were imaginative and funky. Petter Svärd is a natural performer - the harder he hits the drums, the more broadly he grins, but he is far from being a mere basher. The way he plays around with rhythms is clever and understated. Mads Kjølby on guitar seemed to have an almost Mozartian inability to play anything clumsy or ugly". As Jazz Journal International put it - Modern guitar fanciers will take note".
Stekpanna's Russian Collaborators with Leonid and Nikolai Vintskevitch led to an appearance in Oxford Contemporary Music’s Russian Music, Past, Present, and Future series, two tours in Russia (one featured on the BBC World Service's Jazzmatazz programme), and the CD Notes From Underground. As Russia’s Polnyi Jazz observed, “the band was like a child without fear, trying everything intuitively: hot, cool, European, folk-based, heavy and Russian.” The CD is currently available as an ‘official bootleg’ in Russia, and is scheduled for immediate release on the Flat Five Records label (GBHCD007).

The Alternative Heathrow Expansion Story|Friends of the Earth join alternative Heathrow Roadshow
“Heathrow Consultation Divisive and Misleading” say campaigners
Visitors to next Monday’s “official” exhibition at Windsor Leisure Centre (17 December 2007), on the proposed Heathrow expansion, may also wish to visit the “alternative” exhibition at the nearby Castle Hotel in Windsor High Street. This is being organised by HACAN (Heathrow Association for the Control of Aircraft Noise) to show residents some of the things they are NOT being told by the official roadshow.
Maidenhead Friends of the Earth, some of whose members will be helping at the alternative exhibition, has branded the consultation on Heathrow expansion [note 1] as "divisive and misleading". The consultation paper on a third runway and 'Mixed Mode' [note 2] has been delivered to hundreds of thousands of households in the areas around Heathrow.
Nic Ferriday, spokesperson for West London Friends of the Earth, said "There are some 34 specific questions about a third runway and mixed mode. But none actually ask people if they support a third runway or the removal of mixed mode. Instead there are detailed questions that pre-suppose expansion. The questions ask for personal information and ask about specific impacts on households which will vary from one location to another. The answers can therefore be used to divide communities and to suggest there is no widespread opposition to expansion."
Friends of the Earth believe the consultation is misleading and deficient in vital aspects - economics, noise, air pollution and climate change. Nic Ferriday commented:
"The justification for expansion of Heathrow is claimed benefits to the economy. The consultation asserts economic benefits but provides no evidence and does not invite any responses to its assertions."
"The government recently published the ANASE study on noise and annoyance [note 3]. This showed that noise levels of much less than 57 decibels (dB) cause annoyance, but the government says it will continue with 57dB in assessing the impact of Heathrow expansion."
"The government asks whether a third runway can be added within air pollution limits. This is impossible for ordinary people to answer because the air pollution estimates were carried in secret by the government and BAA. There are no independent reviews and it is impossible for ordinary citizens to judge whether the extremely complex
calculations are valid."
"A third runway would increase emissions of carbon dioxide from Heathrow aircraft by some 8.8 million tonnes pa by 2030 and 10.8 million by 2050 [note 4]. Such increases will make it impossible to achieve the 60% cuts by 2050 that the government recognises as necessary in its climate bill. This government consultation ignores the climate imperative."
"We strongly advise residents not to answer these leading questions. Instead, they should say they oppose expansion and give their own reasons."

BIG BIRD WATCH|Taking part in the Big Garden Birdwatch is simple and fun.
All you need to do is watch your garden or local park on either Saturday 26 or Sunday 27 January 2008.
Simply spend an hour counting the birds, recording the highest number of each species seen in your garden (not flying over) at any one time.
It's important you don't count all the birds you see because some birds will return to your garden many times in the hour. Seeing the same blue tit come back 10 times does not make 10 blue tits.
You can do your Birdwatch in your garden or a local park. Either way it's best to decide on a place where you can see the birds well and where you can sit quietly so they are not disturbed. 3158|20080127|BIG BIRD WATCH|Taking part in the Big Garden Birdwatch is simple and fun.

Energy Saving Day 6pm Turn off all your unwanted electricity|Energy Saving Day, or E-Day, is a massive effort to reduced unneeded energy use across the UK over 24 hours. Everyone in the UK is invited to save energy in their homes, schools and offices.
As people turn off unneeded energy-guzzling devices everywhere: from lights to stereos on stand-by to neglected kettles and heaters, E-Day organisers will demonstrate the reduced demand on the national electricity grid on www.e-day.org.uk
The results of falling demand will be updated minute by minute on the website. E-Day begins with a candle-lit vigil at St Paul’s Cathedral, London at 6pm on 27 February, and lasts until 6pm the following day. 3188|20000314|COOKHAM CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC|COOKHAM CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC

The concert is given by members of Lea Barn Divertimenti and includes

Handel and Corelli trio sonatas for flute, violin, cello and keyboard

Mozart Quartet for flute and strings in D

An arrangement of a string trio for two flutes, clarinet and bassoon - a very interesting piece that we played in January and thought would make a good arrangement, but the composers name has escaped me at the moment! When it comes back I'll send it on!)

Clara Charlesworth, one of the flautists organising the concert, has suggested that the charity collection should be for Musicians in Focus, a charity helping musicians affected by sight loss.

Support the Czech hunger strikers - No to US Missile Defence.
A number of leading political and cultural figures have joined a hunger strike in Prague. They are protesting at the Czech government's continuing negotiations with the US to build a Missile Defence radar near the city. The hunger strike will be organised on a 'chain' basis, with people participating for 24 hour slots - the hunger strikers have called an international day of action on the 22nd June to increase pressure on the Czech government.
The European Union has not reached an agreed position on the installation of the US Missile Defence system in Europe, despite the risk of the military bases putting Europe on the front line in future US wars. They are essential to US war plans and any future US enemy will attempt to destroy them. Opinion polls show majority opposition to the system across Europe. 3398|20080921|Cookham Rise Centenary Circus & Fair|Happy's Circus & school fair, rides, stalls, bbq, bar 3403|20080624|

22nd SEPTEMBER 2008
AT SNOWBALL FARM EQUESTRIAN CENTRE, DORNEY WOOD ROAD,
BURNHAM, BUCKINGHAMSHIRE SL1 8EH
Snowball Farm Equestrian Centre is opening its equestrian facilities for one day on 22nd September 2008 to provide the perfect venue for sellers to present their horses (selling for up to £7,500) to buyers to view and try out. Snowball Farm’s facilities include: indoor schools, all-weather-surface outdoor arena for Show Jumping, and extensive Cross Country course.
For the seller:
 Save time and money presenting your horse or pony to many potential buyers in one, easily accessible place, in one day;
 Put your horse through its paces on the flat in the indoor school;
 Display its capabilities in Show Jumping over a variety of fences in the all-weather-surface outdoor arena;
 Use the popular, well-built Cross Country course, including water jump, Normandy bank, and steps, as well as a good variety of other types of obstacles;
 Encourage serious potential buyers to make that purchase decision by trying out your horse or pony using quality facilities.
Entry to the Viewing Day
To present a horse or pony for sale at the Viewing Day sellers submit a colour photograph, a brief description (up to 50 words), to include height and age, achievements, price and contact details, to the Viewing Day Catalogue. Horses and ponies will be catalogued according to height and price.
Catalogue Number
The catalogue number provides the unique identifier for each horse and pony. Snowball Farm will provide sellers with numbered bibs so that buyers seeing the horse or pony in action will be able to find the relevant catalogue details. Buyers and sellers will be able to view the catalogue on www.snowballfarm.co.uk/viewingday, and may buy catalogues (£3.00) on the day.
Catalogue entry forms can be downloaded from www.snowballfarm.co uk. Entry forms with photographs should be posted to Snowball Farm Equestrian Centre, Dorney Wood Road, Burnham, Bucks SL1 8EH with a cheque or card details as payment.
Documentation
Sellers must present valid Passports, and if selling a horse on behalf of an owner, a letter confirming they have the owner’s permission to sell the horse, to the Viewing Day Secretary before any horse or pony can be shown. Lack of valid documentation will result in the horse or pony being excluded.
For the Buyer:
 Buyers can view several horses and ponies available for purchase in one day in one place;
 Try out potential purchases on the flat, over a Show Jumping course and around Cross Country disciplines;
 Establish direct contact with the seller.
Buyers will save time and money by seeing several horses at once, and will be better able to make that purchase decision because they will have tried out horses for themselves.
Schedule of Activities
All horses and ponies will be shown on the flat and then in the Show Jumping arena by the vendors, in front of potential buyers. Showing classes will be arranged so that buyers will be able to see all the ponies in a height category complete flat and show jumping.
Buyers that like what they see can approach the vendors of the horses and ponies they are interested in, and with the agreement and involvement of the seller, may try out a number of the horses and ponies.
In addition to the flat and show jumping facilities, the Cross Country Course will be opened in the afternoon.
- Dressage Phase
Sellers can use the Indoor School for demonstrating flatwork. No more than 5 riders will be allowed in the Indoor School at any one time, and each will be limited to 15 minutes riding time.
- Show Jumping Phase
Sellers will then show their horses and ponies in the Show Jumping arena which will include a variety of fences ranging from 75cm to 110cm. Sellers will have 2 minutes to show their horse over the fences of their choice.
- Try Out Phase
Buyers trying out horses and ponies will be allowed 15 minutes in the Indoor School with no more than 5 riders trying out at any one time. Buyers may use the Show Jumping Arena the Cross Country Course, for which there will be a small charge.

Amnesty-Violence Against Women: a talk and discussion 7.30pm, Holy Trinity Parish Centre|Violence Against Women: a talk and discussion
7.30pm, Thursday 14th May at Holy Trinity Parish Centre, Cookham

Our local Amnesty International group has teamed up with the the Peace and Justice Committee at Holy Trinity Church, Cookham, for this discussion about an important topic that has been in the news. Heather Harvey, Amnesty’s manager for their Stop Violence Against Women campaign, will talk about the UK and International work in this campaign with a particular focus on the campaign for equality in Iran and the ‘No Recourse to Public Funds’ rule in the UK which traps women in violent situations. Issues around human trafficking will also be on the agenda. There will be time for discussion and questions - and for refreshments after the talk.
Heather has more than15 years experience in public and voluntary sector both overseas and in the UK. This has included four years working in remote rural areas of Southern and West Africa specialising on projects for women as well as three years in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office forced marriage unit as an NGO advisor before taking up her current post at Amnesty International.

Do please try to come to this event: it should be very interesting and we'd like to have a good turnout for Heather.

The Parish Centre is next to Holy Trinity Church. From the T junction at the top of Cookham HIgh Street, head towards the bridge and Bourne End. The entrance to the church and parish centre is straight ahead just where the road bends right towards the bridge. Post code is SL6 9SP.

Transition Town Maidenhead Brainstorming Session |For those of you interested in the environment and creating a resilient Maidenhead you are warmly invited to a Transition Town Maidenhead Visioning Session.

We are a group of people from the Maidenhead area who are working together, imagining and creating a future that addresses the twin challenges of diminishing oil and gas supplies and climate change, and creates the kind of community that we would all want to be part of.
We believe that only by involving all of us - residents, businesses, public bodies, community organisations and schools - will we come up with the most innovative, effective and practical ideas, and have the energy and skills to carry them out. Our future has the potential to be more rewarding, abundant and enjoyable than today, and by working together we can unleash the collective enthusiasm and genius of our community
(that means you!) to make this transition.

This meeting will be a brainstorming session to look at how we wish to progress and develop TTM to meet the needs of the local communities. It will be a chance to both get creative and explore our options and also to enable us to be more aligned as to the road forward.

The details are as follows:

Date/Time: Sunday 17th May at 2 – 4 pm

Location: The Ormandy Centre, Church Hill, White Waltham, Maidenhead, SL6 3JH (Thanks Vinnie!)

If you are interested in attending please contact John Adams at john@transitionmaidenhead.org as spaces are limited.

Many thanks!!!!

9504|20090529|Children's Trial Afternoon Dance Class - Cookham|Welcome to the Anna Rose School of Dance and Drama. My name is Anna Pike and I am about to start up some new dance classes in Cookham. 
 
I am extending the school which already has branches in Flackwell Heath and Great Kingshill, both branches I run with my Grandmother and so now I am setting up the new classes on my own as evenutally I will take over the entire school from my Grandmother.
 
I am using a brand new studio which is located behind the parade of shops, it has recently been converted into a dance studio.
I will be running a trial afternoon during half term on Friday 29th May where children aged 3 upwards can come along and have a go at Ballet, Tap and Modern lessons and then I hope to set up regular classes after half term.
A bit of history about me - I have been dancing since the age of 3 and since leaving school I have gained my qualifications with the ISTD. I have choreographed 3 local pantomimes as well as performing in them and I have been the assistant choreographer for two summer youth projects at the Wycombe Swan.

British Armed Forces Day|The Royal Borough will next week join councils from around the country to “fly the flag” to mark the first British Armed Forces Day.

On Monday (June 22) the special Armed Forces Day flag will be raised above the Town Hall in St Ives Road, Maidenhead, at 10.30am.

Representatives from a number of service organisations will join the Mayor, Cllr Jesse Grey, at the ceremony and afterwards for refreshments in the Mayor’s parlour.

The special flag will fly above the Town Hall until after Armed Forces Day itself which takes place on Saturday June 27 and follows the success of previous Veterans Day celebrations.

The day provides an opportunity for the nation to show its support for the men and women who make up the Armed Forces community – from currently serving troops to service families, and from veterans to recruits.

For further information contact Andrew Scott, democratic and civic services manager, on 01628 796028.

Celebrations For Official Opening of Braywick Athletics Club - All welcome|Join the celebrations at new Braywick clubhouse
Royal Borough residents are invited to join in the fun and celebrations at the official opening of the Maidenhead Athletic Club (MAC) clubhouse at the new Braywick Park pavilion on Saturday 11 July.
The opening ceremony takes place at 1pm when Cllr Simon Dudley, lead member for adult and community services, says a few words and Christine Benning, England Athletics officer and 1984 Olympics finalist, cuts the ribbon to officially open the MAC clubhouse.
From 11am to 2pm there will be a bouncy castle and other children's amusements, and MAC officers and coaches will be available for membership and other enquiries.
Athletes, archers and footballers are already enjoying the benefits of the smart £950,000 pavilion, which encompasses the MAC clubhouse.
The pavilion also provides storage for archery equipment and boasts eight grass football team changing rooms of which two are fully accessible for disabled athletes, changing facilities for teams using the three all-weather floodlit football pitches, two changing rooms for football referees, one fully accessible for disabled athletes, and a public toilet for park users.
The environmentally friendly building has a wood chip burner for heating and sun tube lighting in the roof to improve natural lighting in the rooms. The building costs were all covered by Section 106 developer contributions, while MAC contributed a £100,000 down payment to lease the clubhouse. This sum comprises £31,000 in grants from the council and the Prince's Trust and £69,000 raised by the club.
Cllr Simon Dudley, lead member for adult and community services, said: “This is an impressive new building both in terms of usefulness to the sports players and in environmental terms.
"The opening celebrations will be a great opportunity for Maidonians to come along and see the facilities for themselves, enjoy the fun activities and maybe even sign up to one of the clubs."
Dave Dando, MAC chairman, added: "MAC this year celebrates its 125th anniversary and we are delighted that the delivery of this excellent facility can form part of our celebrations. It is the culmination of many years of planning, negotiation and fundraising and we are deeply indebted to those club officers, past and present, who worked so hard to make this happen. We are also very grateful to the Prince's Trust and the council for the grants received.
"Membership of the club has doubled in the last 10 years and we fully expect growth to continue. The new clubhouse and its facilities provide an essential base for managing this growth and serving the needs of current and future users.
"The club is also committed to working with the council and our fellow Braywick Sports Association members to further enhance facilities at Braywick and, in so doing, offer improved sports participation opportunity to all."
The pavilion forms part of continued investment in Braywick Park and follows the installation of a new play area and two new five-a-side all-weather pitches.
The dilapidated former MAC clubhouse is set to be demolished and the area landscaped.
Further work to the park over the next six months includes more benches, landscaping and a new sustainability trail. The park was recently submitted for Green Flag accreditation and results are expected in July.

Relationships might be different in different eras, but the experience of being in love remains the same. A modern Bollywood classic.
