Arts Centre Film Club

Just to remind you AGAIN of tonight’s classic – The Apartment – in Newry Arts Centre Film Club!

Newry Arts Centre Film Club (NACFC) was formed in 2007 by a group of volunteer film enthusiasts to bring a range of films not usually shown by commercial cinemas to the residents of Newry and the surrounding area.

The Truck [4]

After the initial shock had passed we realised that we had to do something to clear the breakage – at least from off the road.  There seemed to be no one to help.

It seemed like all hell was breaking loose:  our load had obviously dislodged and the air was full of the sound of breaking glass. There seemed to be boxes and crates raining down everywhere.

GAA in action: Down

We have till now neglected to vaunt our local GAA stars, in all sports and cultural traditions.   This is a small effort to make amends!

Well Mrs or is it Ms Dayee,

I have seen it all now…

You on your soap box telling all those poor souls looking for guidance about high morals and standards…  what is the matter with you?  Is it one rule for you and one for them?
