2) Book Club The Cleft
The next meeting of the Book Club will be on Monday 23 April at the home of Jean Whittaker at 23A Maipoona Road Mirrabooka at 7.30 pm. We will discuss by Doris Lessing, who has been described as one of the most celebrated and distinguished writers of our time, winning a host of international awards. The book could be described as a fable, in which she satirizes the unchanging behavioural patterns of men and women in a surprising and entertaining way.
We would be delighted to see you for an enjoyable evening over cheese and biscuits and a glass of wine or a cuppa. Ring Jean on 4970 5106 if you are coming.

3) Film Club Midnight in Paris
The April meeting of the Film Club will be on Friday 27 April.
The film selection is Midnight in Paris.
Midnight in Paris is a 2011 romantic comedy fantasy film written and directed by Woody Allen. The plot centers on a small group of Americans visiting the French capital for business and pleasure. The protagonist, a screenwriter, is forced to confront the shortcomings of his relationship with his fiancée and their divergent goals due to his magical experiences in the city beginning each night at midnight.
The film opened to widespread critical acclaim and has commonly been cited as one of Allen's best films in recent years. In 2012, the film won both the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and the Golden Globe Awards for Best Screenplay; and was nominated for three other Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Direction, and Best Art Dire
David and Sheila Kearns, 29 Little Valley Road 7.30pm.
