As part of a monthly series of screenings I’m putting on a night with a couple of classic bike films on the first Tuesday night of August (the 4th). Films will be shown on a big screen in a shopfront at 923 High st, Thornbury - El Joyero. Cost is $5 and you get a beer or wine or ginger beer with that. You’ll be able to buy beers all night and coffee too (real coffee, made on a La Mazzoco using St Ali beans). Doors at 6.30 for 7pm first film. Before MASH but after Jorgen Leth there were…
