Flix In The Stix – 6th November 2012

Posted on by

Next film – November 6th 2012

Our next offering, on Tuesday 6th November is Salmon fishing in the Yemen.  It is a romantic comedy concerning two people brought together by a Middle Eastern water management company.  The cast, including Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt and Kristin Scott-Thomas, are attractive and its sense of humour might best be described as updated Ealing Comedy.  So it has similarities to ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ and should provide a great evening’s entertainment.

We look forward to seeing you all again at Capel Village Memorial Hall.  As always, doors open at 7.30 pm for the film to start at 8 pm.  Ticket on the door priced £4.00 each (the same as before).

Thanks to Richard Hunt we have updated information about the meal deals available to Flix in the Stix-ers at The Crown Inn, Capel.  The important change is that you really should book beforehand to be able to get the Two for One curry at £8.00.  There is a choice of Chicken Korma (mild), Beef Madras (hot), Lamb Rogan Josh (medium) or a mild to medium vegetarian option.

In addition, for £5.50 each you can have a choice of Fish & Chips, Scampi & Chips or a Risotto of asparagus, broadbean and roasted garlic.

Sounds good to me.

 But PLEASE, please, contact Sue or a member of staff at the Crown and book your choice.  Contact details are:

Email : – thecrowncapel@hotmail.co.uk

Telephone: 01306 711130

Or drop in.

Hope you have all got that.  Sue needs a reasonable number of people on Tuesday night to take advantage of this special deal, so do try to support you village pub.  Especially as in future, they will be offering a Take Away service for Fish & Chips Monday to Saturday from 6pm to 9pm.

Posted on by

Following the success of the Quiz night being held in the Village Memorial Hall last year, the Society is planning to hold the same event on Saturday 2nd February 2013, doors open at 7 pm for 7.30 start. There is a delicious four- course menu of

  • A Mediterranean Platter for sharing,
  • Choice of Steak & Kidney Puff pie, or Chicken breast with Orange and Basil, or Mushroom, spinach & butternut lasagne – all served with parsley new potatoes and green beans.
  • A choice of Chocolate truffle cheesecake with Raspberries, or Apple & Walnut crumble with vanilla ice cream or Cheese platter is offered for the dessert course.
  • All rounded off with Coffee or Tea.

Not bad for £17.00 per person (same price as last year). AND there is the Quiz that tests your horticultural and general knowledge as a team. So why not make up a party and come along?

Last year tickets were quickly sold out and some people were disappointed as it was oversubscribed. Tickets are limited to 80, after that we cannot accept any more due to capacity. All tickets and meal preferences must be stated by 6th January 2013. Tickets will be on sale through Jackie Coke (, tel 01306711098, email: jackie.coke@btconnect.com), and will be available at the next Flix in the Stix on Tuesday 6th November when we will be showing ‘Salmon Fishing in the Yemen’.

The Evergreens

Posted on by

On Monday, 20th august, we took a trip to the Cotswolds – Bourton-on-the-Water to be precise, and what wonderful weather we had. The journey was really great, with all that wonderful scenery enhanced by the sunshine. We arrived in time for lunch and, as there are so many eateries there, we were spoiled for choice. Having eaten, it was time to hit the sops (for some of us at least_ whilst some members of the Camera Club went off to capture photos for their various projects and I am sure they got some good ones too. All too soon it was time to have a cuppa and head back to the coach to make our way home. altogether a lovely trip.

Capel Memorial Hall Bookings

Posted on by

The Hall has been at the centre of Capel Village – both geographically and socially – since 1912. Over the 100 years there have been major additions and significant imporvements to ensure that this local facility is kept up to the highest standard and available to all at modest cost.

Much of this success has been achieved by hard working and conscientious committees, the current one comprising chariman, treasurer, secretary and other members from the many regular weekly user groups.

Whilst the committee is at the Heart of the Hall, the bookings maintain its lifeblood and we are now looking for a replacement to take over the responsibility of “bookings” for 2013 and beyond. This is not an onerous task but one requiring a degree of commitment.

If you would like to be involved in the village and contribute to its future well-being then this could be for you –
