11th February  -  Film Night: ‘The Man with the Answers’

Sometimes the most unpromising starts to a relationship lead to love, as demonstrated in this quirky, upbeat ‘road trip movie’.

In LGBTQ+ History Month we watch the famous 1961 film starring Dirk Bogarde that many believed helped bring about the partial decriminalisation of homosexuality in England and

Wales in 1967.
