On the third Monday of every month, Wisbech Rotary, in partnership with the Light Cinema and Tesco, holds a film show for the over-60s, preceded by tea, coffee, cakes and biscuits.

We're delighted to say that we will be showing 'A Star is Born', starring Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga. We've probably enjoyed the 1954 Judy Garland/James Mason version and some of us may seen the less critically acclaimed Barbara Streisand/Kris Kristofferson 1976 remake. The latest film has received excellent reviews and Lady Gaga's acting is said to be a revelation.

Doors open at 9.30 am and the film starts at 10.30.

And advanced notice that the film on 17 December is 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Tickets are already selling for this so get yours soon and come along and rediscover your inner Freddie Mercury.

Fenland landlords will have the chance to gain valuable advice and support at a free event in Wisbech. Building on the success of its first landlord event in June, Fenland District Council has organised another landlord networking session at The Boathouse Business Centre on Thursday, November 29. The event aims to update landlords on new government legislation affecting the private rental sector and demonstrate the services on offer from the council and its partners. The National Landlords Association will be on hand with everything landlords need to know about changes to houses of multiple occupation (HMO) licensing, court processes including Section 21 notices and landlord taxation. The Department of Work and Pensions will also provide an update on the rollout of Universal Credit specifically for landlords, and the council's private sector housing team will be explaining the benefits of its landlord advice service. Attendees will also have the opportunity to discuss fire safety regulations with Cambridgeshire Fire and Rescue Service and meet representatives from the council's housing options, environmental health, waste and recycling and homelessness prevention Trailblazer teams. Councillor Dee Laws, the council's Cabinet member responsible for private sector housing, said: "Whether you're just starting out as a landlord, have a small number of buy to lets or a considerable property portfolio, you'll be sure to benefit from attending this free event. "Landlords can find out about the services the council offers to support them in their role as a housing provider, and get advice to overcome any practical problems they may encounter, such as damp issues. It also aims to make landlords more aware of their legal obligations to help them protect their business and avoid potential fines or criminal proceedings." Inna Melnyk, National Landlords Association Representative – East, said: "The NLA is keen to work with Fenland District Council to help improve housing standards across the district. Landlord networking events are an ideal way for the NLA to provide face to face support to the sector." The event is being held at The Boathouse Business Centre in Wisbech between 6.30pm and 9.30pm.
