This Friday, 11th April, the film to be shown at Gifford Film Club is Honeyland – from Macedonia. It tells the story of one of the last wild beekeepers in Europe whose traditional way of life centred on collecting honey from wild bees, is disturbed by the arrival of a noisy and rambunctious family. A delicious pre-film supper is available at the Lanterne Rouge if you want to make a night of it.
FREE Piano!
Does anyone have use for an upright piano? It has been a teaching piano so not exactly concert quality. Will need to be uplifted from the Garvald area.
