Upcoming Events

Dear Sirs/Madams,

I am the Cafe Manager of the new ‘Saltdean Community Cafe’ based in the Lido Building in Saltdean (picture attached).

We have Lots of unused Rooms in the building on Sunday afternoons and I was hoping to start a Chess Club for the Local Community, and to help young people of Saltdean get into chess.

I am currently looking for a Volunteer to help me start and run this Sunday afternoon Chess Club in the LIdo and wondered if you have access to people who may like to do this?

Your help or direction would be much appreciated.

Best wishes,

Gaston Mallia
Saltdean Community Cafe Manager

EVENT DETAILS

THE KING'S SPEECH (12A) Directed by Tom Hooper Starring: COLIN FIRTH, Helena Bonham Carter, Geoffrey Rush Runtime approx 2hrs The remarkable and touching story of Elizabeth II's father and his friendship with maverick speech therapist Lionel Logue. Fascinating, moving and often humourous it charts the personal relationship that developed between England's reluctant King George VI, plagued by a nervous stammer, and his irreverent Australian speech therapist. As the second son of George V, Prince Albert "Bertie" was not expected to ascend to the throne, but when his brother Edward abdicates to marry American Wallis Simpson, Bertie, as his successor, is crowned King George VI. George becomes King as radio is taking off as a mass medium and the Second World War looms. Thrust into the international spotlight he must speak not only to the nation but to the people of the British Empire, across the world. His wife, Queen Elizabeth - the future Queen Mother - is tireless in her belief in him. Having tried all the traditional doctors she engages unorthodox outsider, Logue, to help him find a voice that can inspire a nation on the brink of war. At SALTDEAN - St Nicholas Church Hall, Saltdean on Tue 22 February 2011 Doors open at 7.00PM Starts at 7.30PM Price: £5.50 Box Office: 01903 750235 The online allocation of tickets on this date has sold out
