just found out that the will hay film is 'Old Bones Of The River'.it starts at 2-30pm and costs 6 pounds or 5 pounds concessions and is free to over 60's.the cinema is in dalston, hackney and probably the best way to go is to get the train by overground to Dalston Kingsland station and the Rio is just a couple of minutes walk on your left as you leave the station.see you there!!
