🏍 Pre-meet prep : you will find tonight’s film ‘One Week’ listed on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xpyy8EIU8hg&t=429s

It’s a Canadian drama telling the story of Ben Tyler who’s had some life- changing health news and instead of starting immediate treatment decides to take a motorcycle trip across Canada from Toronto to Vancouver Island. Along the way he meets several people that help him reevaluate his relationship with his fiancee Samantha, his job, and his dream of becoming a writer. The star of the film is naturally the Norton Commando, oh and of course the Canadian landscape and the music soundtrack. Get in the beer/wine/nibbles 🍺🍷🥤 and enjoy!

🏍 7.15 pm. Gather in the Zoom meeting room by clicking/tapping on the link shown below. Now is the chance to chat, catch up, swop information, hear from any Club office holders present, sip your beverage ! To make Zoom work for us it’s best to follow the Zoom etiquette shown below.

🏍 7.45 pm. Movie time ! The film lasts 1hr 34 mins. Zoom meeting will close and we enjoy tonight’s film in the comfort of our own homes.

🏍 9.30pm. Return to the Zoom meeting room by clicking on the same link as before. The pub quiz (a great opportunity for marital disharmony – especially when HE is always right! ) will include questions about the film, Canada and probably Norton Commandos! Oh, and btw – quizmaster’s decision is final . . . . especially if he’s wrong !

🏍 10.00pm. The victor(s) is announced and the award of a very small but iconic prize! Fond farewells. Meeting closes. Similar time next week at The Cherry Tree, Steventon.

P.S. We love supporting Thames Valley Air Ambulance. Please donate £2 on the club’s Just Giving page to help our Airborne Carers.
