It was lovely to find so many at the Fisher on Monday, braving bad weather to see C’EST LA VIE.  Some of you were asking whether your subscriptions were due for renewal.  The answer depends on when you joined last year, because film club membership now lasts a full 365 days from the day it is taken out.  You can join or renew any time the Fisher box office is open, but it would be greatly appreciated if you don’t roll up to pay your subscription 5 minutes before a show is due to start.  I will endeavour notify each of you when your membership is due to expire.
