APRIL BULLETIN
This is an update from your committee
Whilst as of earlier this week a My Vaccine Pass (“MVP”) is no longer prescribed, entities may still use the system if they wish.
Your committee has looked at the risk of Covid transmission for each of our upcoming events and determined that:
No MVP requirement
Marchons, marchons Sunday 10th April
Social Pétanque Sunday 24th April
Café Croissant (unless the venue requires a MVP)
MVP still required
The following events/activities will continue to require a My Vaccine Pass:
Cine Club April
French Lessons Term 2
Soiree de Conversation (where specified by the host)
Please note
Whilst Events Cinema no longer require an MVP, their allocated seating parameters enable a strict level of social distancing. We can’t achieve the same level of social distancing and hence our decision to require an MVP for the April screening
French Classes require an MVP for all of Term 2 (subject to the MVP system continuing to be in use)
We will be reassessing these requirements regularly, we certainly look forward to the time that all our members are able to attend all of our events!
A bientôt

April's film
Meet in the cinema from 6pm. There are still restrictions at Event Cinemas which mean for April we will still require a My Vaccine Pass and masks are compulsory in the public areas of Events Cinema, but may be removed once inside Cinema 2 (private event). We will be serving $5 glasses of Beach House wine and complimentary bread and cheese. The film starts at 6:30pm and supper is available afterwards at Pipi's cafe. Please notify Di if you are interested. Tuesday 12 April 2022 at 6:00pm Event Cinemas, Havelock North. Members $10; Other $15 Writer-director Nicolas Bedos has more credits as an actor and writer than he does as director, so it shows astonishing promise that in only his third feature at the helm he mixes wit, imagination and insight into this fantastically enjoyable romp. - NZ Listener |
La Belle Epoque(2019)
M, Sex scenes, violence, drug use & offensive language, 110 mins
French with English subtitles
French comedy drama stars Daniel Auteil (Caché) as crotchety 60-something Victor, offered an escape from his life. A new service offers a chance at something different—a high-end re-enactment troupe using theatre and reconstruction to let their clients "travel" to an era of their choice. Victor chooses to relive the most important time of his life, the week 40 years earlier when he met his wife.
