The well attended BFFS Film Society of the Year Awards ceremony took place on Saturday 27th September amid the splendour of Cutlers Hall in Sheffield.
President, Derek Malcolm, and special guest Jan Dunn - director of Gypo and Ruby Blue - gave witty speeches extolling the virtues of the BFFS and British cinema respectively, setting an excellent tone for the proceedings.
Under the auspices of new Chair Julieanne Crothers-Gibson, Keswick Film Club scooped Commendations for Best Film Programming and Best Marketing & Publicity, a distinction for Programme Notes and the top prize for Best Website.
The Club was pipped for The Engholm Prize for Film Society of the Year by Louth Film Club.

New Season Starts On Sunday
We hope most of you will be able to make it to Mongol on Sunday - not only because it's an exciting film to launch the new season, but it's always a great pleasure to see members again after their sunny summer break.
We're starting with our customary free wine (or juice) at 4.15pm, but this year there's more: Ian and Elspeth have been busy devising some film-based fun for you - no, not a test, but a chance to exercise your opinions and prejudices in amusing and interesting ways - so we'd be pleased if plenty of members turn up in good time to partake (and no, you don't have to say a word if you're feeling shy - just 'post-it').

New Website for the New Season
Over the summer break we've been busy working on a brand new website. If you head over to www.keswickfilmclub.org you can see the changes along with the new Autumn programme and we hope that you like both.
As well as giving the site a new fresh look we're moving details of all the films into a database, making it easier to search the hundreds of films the club has screened over the years. We've also got a Facebook page and provided options to share pages with other social bookmarking sites.
There's still more to come, hopefully before the Autumn season starts. Many of the older films still need updating, reviews and audience scores are on their way and all of the old festival programmes will be made available. Webmaster Stephen is also trying to think of other exciting things to add to the site.
If you have any problems, suggestions or feedback (good or bad) then don't hessitate to get in touch with Stephen( webmaster@keswickfilmclub.org).

Born and Bred
We were sorry to disappoint you over the non-arrival of Born and Bred on Sunday, so we have arranged a screening of the film this Thursday (6th March) at 6pm, at the Alhambra.
This will be the proper 35mm version that should have been here on Sunday, so the sound should be as good as you are used to normally. Please phone me if you want to check or ask anything. Members' tickets will be £2 only (free to spring passholders of course).
