For our next meeting we will be showing a film.
Here are the details:-
Wednesday 19th February at 2.15pm at Shul
“THE GREAT ESCAPER”
Michael Caine features in the film and it is the final performance by the late, great Glenda Jackson
The film is based on a true story – that of Bernard Jordan, who in 2014 made the headlines for ‘breaking out’ of his care home in Hove and heading out to a D-Day event in France on his own. The staff at his care home, The Pines, had failed to secure him a place on the Royal British Legion trip heading to Normandy for the 70th anniversary of the D-day landings. Bernard had taken part in Operation Overlord as a Royal Navy officer and when he couldn’t get there with the group, he just went on his own.
Along the way, he is aided by strangers, makes some new friends and says a heartfelt goodbye to a fallen friend, while news of his “escape” makes him an international sensation.

Best wishes, Janet
