10:37a | Indiana Jones Film Trip - Monday 26th May Hi folks, A group of us are heading to see the new Indiana Jones film this coming Monday (yay for bank holidays!!!). We'll be hitting the VUE in North Finchley for the 11am screening - so we're aiming to gather about 10.50ish (despite going out clubbing the night before at Club Noir - good ideas? Phat - who cares :p). After the film we may carry on the tradition (started last bank holiday - so it's an old and honorable one) of going to Nando's for lunch. So that's: INDIANA JONES & THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL VUE North Finchley Monday 26th May 11AM (Gather: 10.50am) Hope to see some of you there! |
