Hidden Figures
Meavy Film Club at Meavy Parish Hall
Saturday 11th November, at 7:30pm
Hidden Figures (PG)
As the United States raced against Russia to
put a man in space, NASA found untapped talent in a group of
African-American female mathematicians that served as the brains
behind one of the greatest operations in U.S. history. Based on the
unbelievably true life stories of three of these women, known as
"human computers", we follow these women as they quickly rose the
ranks of NASA alongside many of history's greatest minds
specifically tasked with calculating the momentous launch of
astronaut John Glenn into orbit, and guaranteeing his safe return.
Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, and Katherine Johnson crossed all
gender, race, and professional lines while their brilliance and
desire to dream big, beyond anything ever accomplished before by the
human race, firmly cemented them in U.S. history as true American
heroes.

Geoff Lakeman
 Meavy Parish Hall
Friday 24th of November, at 7:30pm
Geoff Lakeman is a leading exponent of the
rare Crane Duet concertina. He performs self-written and West
Country songs, English, Irish and Scottish folk and other music as
varied as Jimmie Rodgers, the Louvin Brothers, Richard Thompson and
Randy Newman. He's also one of the few to play 1920's/30's jazz on
an authentic 1920's instrument.
His smooth tenor vocals and unique concertina
accompaniment have won him plaudits and fans over the years but it
has only been since retiring from a long career as a Fleet Street
Journalist that Geoff has truly spread his wings musically.
