Update February 2024
Our Bonnington Belles Cinema Group is going from strength to strength. There are now 36 members in this group and we continue to see a wide variety of films, theatre and musical shows, there is literally something for everyone!! In February we saw 5 films and some of our members attended the series of stage shows which are being streamed to theatres across the UK. So far we have seen Kinky Boots and My Favourite Things which was a tribute to the legendary music of Rodgers & Hammerstein.
As a WI we continue to support our local communities and some of us went to see a pantomime staged by a local amateur dramatics society - Oh Yes We Did !!
As well as theatre and films we have also attended a few tribute act performances, the lastest of which was Rebel Rebel on Saturday 24th February 2024. This was a David Bowie tribute act which covered Bowie's success from Ziggy Stardust into the more modern classics like China Girl, Heroes, Life on Mars and of course Rebel Rebel. As you can see from the photos below everyone had a great time.

We Three Kings - at the Bonington are !!
We Three Kings are a tribute act who celebrate the musical contributions of 3 legends of music, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley. Three of our Bonington Belles sub-group attended The Bonington Theatre on Thursday 14th December 2023 and, along with a capacity audience, enjoyed many of the favourites from these 3 artists. The audience, sang, clapped and danced as time after time the band sang old favourites. The Christmas theme was included throughout including Blue Christmas and I'm dreaming of a White Christmas. A thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Bonington Belles groove to Motown Legends
Friday 13th October saw 18 of the Bonington Belles enjoying a trip back to the Motown era as we watched Legends of Motown perform classics from this great age of music at the Bonington Theatre, Arnold.
Some of the braver ladies decided to dance at the front of the stage whilst the rest of us rocked it in the aisles along with a full to capacity audience. Time after time the hits came thick and fast from such icons as Marvin Gaye, The Supremes, Temptations, Four Tops and many more.
As one member said " it brought back memories of village halls and school discos"..
Bonington Belles see a variety of films, live shows and plays in both local and city theatre. If you are a member and would like to be included in this sub-group please speak to Sue or any member of the committee.
