Cinema Corsley
The Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Pie Society
Thursday 18th October
Continuing our war‐themed season as we move towards the centenary of Armistice Day, the Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society is set in the aftermath of WW2. The cumbersome name of what is a book club was coined to save a group of Guernsey islanders during Nazi occupation.
A letter sent by one book club member to a young London writer results in her visiting the island to unwrap their wartime experiences, along with secrets as yet unburied.
Simpler than its title suggests, the film is saved from being purely a love story through its ‘whodunnit’ twist and clever direction of a well‐picked cast. The lead role belongs to Lily James of Downton Abbey and Darkest Hour, joined by Michiel Huisman, Penelope Wilton, Tom Courtenay and Matthew Goode.
The Silent Child
At the October film night, we will also be showing the 2018 Live Action Short Film Oscar winner ‘The Silent Child’ (20 minutes). This film has been requested by a few of our regulars and we so are delighted that we have been able to get hold of it to show at Cinema Corsley.
Set in rural England, the story follows Libby, a profoundly deaf child. Her middle‐class family; consisting of two elder siblings, a constantly overwhelmed mother and a workaholic husband, seek out a quick fix to make their ‘broken’ child more equipped to handle the real world. But when they employ the help of a deaf‐specialised social worker it becomes apparent that Libby is not the one who needs to be fixed.
Doors open 7pm for a 7.30pm start at Corsley Reading Room
Tickets £6 from Acres Supply (cash only please) or on the door
Refreshments and a licensed bar

NEW! You can now recycle even more plastic in your blue‐lidded bin!
Under Wiltshire Council's new contract with Hills Waste Solutions, you can now recycle more types of plastic materials in your blue-lidded bin.
In addition to the current plastic bottles and cardboard, you will be able to recycle yoghurt pots, plastic trays, margarine tubs, ice cream tubs and juice, milk and soup cartons.
Collections will still be fortnightly and collection days will not change. Residents will continue to use the same containers they already have. Additional recycling bins can be ordered if needed.
Recycling saves energy and costs less. Recycling materials has less impact on the environment than burying them in landfill or burning them to generate energy, so the more we can recycle, the better it is for the environment. In addition, it tends to be more cost effective to recycle materials than to deliver them to energy from waste plants or to landfill them. Last year we sent just 20% of waste to landfill compared to more than 60% in 2007!
