FORTHCOMING EVENTS
ART AT THE STIRRUP CUP
For some months now, Steve Cohen has been arranging monthly exhibitions of art by local painters at the Stirrup Cup. Here are a selection of images from the December showing - the works are all for sale at very reasonable prices, and will be replaced with new art by different artists in the New Year.
FLICKS IN THE STICKS - GREEN BOOK
This month's film is the Oscar-winning Green Book.
Your humble website editor has seen this film and thoroughly recommends it - the true story of a tour of the Deep South of segregation-era USA, by the articulate and highly-talented black pianist Don Shirley and his uncomplicated Mafia-connected bodyguard, it's funny, extremely well-acted by Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali, and also very moving (if the storyline is a little predictable).
When: Tuesday December 10, 7.30pm for 8pm start
Where: Bisley Village Hall
How much: £3 suggested donation

CHRISTMAS CAROLS
Carols will start in Windy Ridge at 6.45pm on Wednesday December 18, and proceed from there to The Bear at 7pm and The Stirrup Cup at 8pm. This is always a great excuse for a few pints and a full-throated sing-song, as well as having more important connotations, and the pubs are usually crammed... so come early.
BISLEY MUMMERS ARE BACK
The Bisley Mummers are back in action at Christmas, with Agatha Pissedie's The Pale Ale.
Expect mild innuendo, broad humour and fluffed lines as art imitates life, sort of, when handsome film star Ruthless Fool comes to the village to film with the BBC leaving hearts a-flutter...

George Stores - 12.30pm
The Bear - 1.15pm
The Stirrup Cup - 2pm.
