Creating Community: connecting online and more

Flordon Community Facebook Group

The Community Group was established during covid lockdown times and now has over 130 members.  You can check it out here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1011094359367209/

The group's founder, Hannah, writes this: "When we moved to Flordon a few years ago, I could see that there were signs of a community spirit but was so busy with work and home life that I was happy enough just saying hello to the neighbours when I saw them. Fast forward to the end of 2020 and I found myself at home on maternity leave during a national lockdown and suddenly I felt like I really wanted to find that community and be part of it.

"As an alternative to stalking people on my walks (no, really!), I set up the Flordon Community Group on Facebook. It seemed like lots of other people also wanted to be part of something as more and more kept joining, enjoying sharing memories of the village. Now we have over 100 members and are thinking to the future when we might be able to see people in real life AND know their names!

"The group is also there for questions, advice and sharing news and photos of anything Flordon related. If you aren't already a member just click the link above and ask to join."

With over 60 members, there is also Flordon Yellow Pages on Facebook for buying/selling and promoting local businesses.

Flordon Film Club

Flordon Film Club will be screening TEACHER's LOUNGE in St. Michael's Community Centre Wednesday 10th October. The doors open at 7.00pm and the film starts at 7.45.

Carla Nowak (Leonie Benesch) is a new arrival on the staff of a middle school in Germany, her commitment and optimism still unblunted. When the suspicion for a spate of thefts falls on a particular boy, based on little more than his skin colour, she acts to exonerate him, capturing, through dubious means, evidence that seems to implicate a fellow member of staff. But the accused teacher, single mother of Oskar (Leo Stettnisch), another child in Carla’s class, doggedly protests her innocence.

“A gripping poignant drama fronted by a staggeringly good performance from Benesch.” The Upcoming
“A fine exercise in restrained but mounting tension.” Variety
“Benesch is superb.” The Guardian

Tickets are £5 each at the door. Annual membership is now also due at £10. To book or for more information about the club please contact David Harrison on 470118 or david020747@hotmail.co.uk

The next meeting after this will be on Wednesday 11 December. The film has yet to be chosen.
