UK Government Smart Meters Rollout 2010

Message forwarded by Sue Hackett, Ruyton XI Towns Parish Clerk.

From: Daniel Vaughan <daniel@selectra.co.uk>

Subject: UK Government Smart Meters Rollout 2020

Dear Mrs Hackett,

Perhaps you have already been made aware, but by 2020, the UK Government plans to have all homes and businesses installed with smart meters through their national rollout that is currently in progress. That said, research shows that a large portion of the population are still not aware of this.

As such, in conjunction with the smart meter authorities nationwide, we are working to ensure that all local councils have all the up to date information available for their citizens, giving the nation a smoother transition and more informed idea of their options. To this email we have attached two guides: one to domestic, and one for non-domestic smart meters, handed over to us by the Government.

Non-domestic - https://www.smartenergygb.org/en/how-to-get-a-smart-meter/who-can-get-a-smart-meter/small-business

Domestic - https://selectra.co.uk/guides/smart-meters

I had a look on your site and thought that the news or useful links section would be the best fit for these links.

If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Kind regards,

Daniel Vaughan

Please book online through the Oswestry Film Society website: https://www.oswestryfilmsociety.com/currentseason Or email: oswestryfilmsociety@gmail.com     Oswestry Film Society launch their new season with this remarkable story of unconditional love. Jeannette Walls had the most unusual of upbringings – a nomadic existence, led across America by her unconventional parents. Her mother was an eccentric artist and her father, an alcoholic, did his best to distract Jeannette and her siblings from their impoverished life through wild flights of imagination. It was an upbringing which gave Jeannette the determination to carve out an adult life on her own terms. This true story, based on Walls' own memoir, is brought to the screen with an impressive cast: Brie Larson takes the lead with Naomi Watts and Woody Harrelson as her parents.  "...a family drama… that refuses to rest on easy platitudes and psychological certainties." The Times US / 2017 / 127mins I Got Life! (15) World Cinema Season Wednesday 2nd May  7:30pm Tickets: £7.00 Adults/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/date/462422 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 César award-winner Agnès Jaoui gives an intelligent and affecting performance as Aurore; 50, flirty and not so-thriving, her world is turned upside down when a past flame returns, reigniting her lust for life and love. A witty and wonderful ode to embracing age whilst staying young. A smart and joyous observation on women, motherhood friendship and relationships, I GOT LIFE! is an empowering film for women made by women, celebrating a renewed sense of life for women of a particular age. "An uplifting film that celebrates the strength of female solidarity… Go See it" PSYCHOLOGIES Director: Blandine Lenoir France 2017 Cast: Agnès Jaoui, Thibault de Montalembert, Pascale Arbillot Run time: 89 mins French with English subtitles Royal Opera House Live: Manon (12A) Thursday 3rd May  7:15pm Tickets: £15.00 Adult/£10.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/date/463323 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Kenneth MacMillan's masterpiece of modern ballet is revived this Season as part of continuing celebrations of MacMillan's profound impact on British ballet, to mark the 25th anniversary of his death. Manon's brother Lescaut is offering her to the highest bidder when she meets Des Grieux and falls in love. They elope to Paris, but when Monsieur G.M. offers Manon a life of luxury as his mistress she can't resist.  With the Lescauts' encouragement Des Grieux cheats at cards in an attempt to win Monsieur G.M.'s fortune. They are caught. Manon is arrested as a prostitute and deported to New Orleans, followed by Des Grieux. On the run, Manon dies from exhaustion. Kenneth MacMillan's source for Manon was the 18th-century French novel by Abbé Prévost, already adapted for opera by Massenet and Puccini. Renowned dance musician Leighton Lucas and his assistant Hilda Gaunt provided a score drawn from across Massenet's music, including his famous yearning Elégie as the theme for the lovers. The premiere was given on 7 March 1974, with the lead roles of Manon and Des Grieux danced by Antoinette Sibley and Anthony Dowell. The ballet quickly became a staple of The Royal Ballet's repertory, and a touchstone of adult, dramatic dance.  MacMillan found new sympathy with the capricious Manon and her struggle to escape poverty. Designs by his regular collaborator Nicholas Georgiadis reflect this, depicting a world of lavish splendour polluted by miserable destitution. MacMillan's spectacular ensemble scenes for the whole Company create vivid, complex portraits of the distinct societies of Paris and New Orleans. But it is Manon and Des Grieux's impassioned pas de deux – recalling the intensity of MacMillan's earlier Romeo and Juliet – that drive this tragic story, and make Manon one of MacMillan's most powerful dramas.  Run time: 2 hours 35 mins including two intervals Walk Like A Panther (12A) Friday 4th May  7:30pm Saturday 5th May  7:30pm Tickets: £7.00 Adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/235147 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 A group of 1980s wrestlers are forced to don the lycra once last time when their beloved local pub is threatened with closure.

Lemmon plays   Felix, an obsessive-compulsive on the verge of suicide after his wife leaves him. Taking pity on Felix, his friend Oscar (Matthau) invites him to share his home until he feels better. From the very start it is clear that the two of them are like chalk and cheese. Being around Oscar certainly cheers Felix up, but soon it becomes clear that Oscar's impulsive, fun-loving nature clashes horrendously with his friend's shy, stay-at-home disposition.  "Lemmon and Matthau's finest hour." Empire Magazine.

A tale of creation and destruction, struggles and friendship, as told by the Quatuor Ebène, one of the world's most exciting string quartets. Los Angeles Documentary Film Festival 2015 | Best Documentary Award 4 is an independent cinema documentary on one of the world's most exciting string quartets - the Quatuor Ebène. The film takes viewers along on the quartet's tour of Italy, gradually drawing them into the ambivalent interactions that have come to characterise the four musicians' long-standing relationship. Bolzano, Perugia, Florence and Siena, Salzburg and Berlin, form the involuntary backdrop to a piece about relationships and the antagonism between ambition and reality. Rather than focusing on the stage performances of the multiple award-winning French Quatuor Ebène, 4 takes us behind the scenes to observe the musical and human processes usually hidden from the eyes of the concert audience: the string quartet's struggle with scores and interpretational details, with colleague-friends – and with themselves. The Quatuor Ebène allowed themselves to be observed at close quarters, wherever they were and whatever they were doing. Never putting on a front for the camera, they embraced the opportunity to rediscover themselves through the filming. The compellingly intimate view that emerges was made possible thanks to the trust that evolved between the musicians and the film crew. As a result, we now have not only a unique testimony of the conflicting desires, sufferings and joys of music making, but also an interpersonal story of a quartet rich in exquisite intuition and subject to bizarre misunderstandings that cannot help but make us think. "Never before have we revealed so much about our relationships among ourselves for a project, film or interview." - Raphaël Merlin, Quatuor Ebène "The best movie about classical music I have ever seen. True art." - Nicolas Altstaedt, cellist and conductor   "4" is the unconventional - and exceptional - portrait of a string quartet... a biography of four people who know each other better than their own families. And whose shared work, as first violinist Pierre Colombet puts it, is always more than " just" music.   — From the film recommendation of the Bayerischer Rundfunk by Michael Atzinger, May 2016 For the whole podcast (in German) Director: Daniel Kutschinski Germany 2015 Cast: Quatuor Ebène Run time: 94 mins Ghost Stories (15) Friday 18th May  7:30pm Saturday 19th May  7:30pm Tickets: £7.00 Adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/235451 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Phillip Goodman, professor of psychology, arch-skeptic, the one-man 'belief buster' – has his rationality tested to the hilt when he receives a letter apparently from beyond the grave. His mentor Charles Cameron, the 'original' TV parapsychologist went missing fifteen years before, presumed dead and yet now he writes to Goodman saying that the pair must meet. Cameron, it seems, is still very much alive. And he needs Goodman to find a rational explanation for three stories that have shaken Cameron to his core. As Goodman investigates, he meets three haunted people, each with a tale more frightening, uncanny and inexplicable than the last. The film is directed by League of Gentlemen writer Jeremy Dyson and magician Nyman, and adapted from their own acclaimed stage-play of the same name. Reviewing the London production in 2010, Telegraph theatre critic Charles Spencer praised it as "ingenious, creepy and horribly enjoyable".  "Nyman and Dyson have created a weird world of menace, despair and decay." **** The Guardian Director: Jeremy Dyson, Andy Nyman Cast: Martin Freeman, Alex Lawther, Andy Nyman, Paul Whitehouse, and Kobna Holdbrook-Smith Run time: 100 mins Unsane (15) Wednesday 23rd May  7:30pm Thursday 24th May  7:30pm Tickets: £7.00 Adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/235457 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 A young woman leaves her hometown to escape a troubled past and begin a new job. But when she is involuntarily committed to a mental institution she is confronted by her greatest fear — but is it real or just her delusion?

With twisting perspectives and a shocking narrative, Unsane asks questions about our perception of reality, our survival instinct and the system that is supposed to take care of us. "A raw, lean and abrasively effective thriller from Steven Soderbergh, which features Claire Foy as we've never seen her before." **** Empire Magazine Director: Steven Soderbergh Cast: Claire Foy, Juno Temple, Jay Pharaoh, Joshua Leonard, Aimee Mullins Run time: 98 mins Funny Cow (15) Friday 25th May  7:30pm Saturday 26th May  7:30pm Tickets: £7.00 Adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/235471 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Maxine Peake gives a formidable performance as an aspiring female comedian standing up to a violent husband and the sexist Northern England club circuit. If you think that modern comedy is still lacking in gender equality, then this tough, streetwise British film shows that it's also made giant strides since the in-your-face chauvinism of working men's clubs in decades past. And yet, ill-treatment by men is something our eponymous heroine is grimly used to, from childhood beatings to an abusive husband (scriptwriter Tony Pitts, on terrifying form).  More a film about the power of laughter and how to transform pain into humour than a straight-up comedy, Funny Cow is a fitting showcase for Peake. So often dazzling on stage and television, she's hilarious and heart-breaking here. There's fine support too from cast-against-type Paddy Considine as her middle-class paramour and a swooning, melancholic soundtrack by Richard Hawley. Leigh Singer - BFI Film Festival "Peake is hypnotically belligerent as an ambitious club performer trampling over prejudice and sticky carpets on the 1970s comedy circuit" **** The Guardian "As a comedy Funny Cow has a subdued, wry humour rather than side-splitting hilarity. Tough and gritty, there is unhappiness and pain underneath the bravado – the characters are just trying to survive. But, in the spirit of balloons offered by a little girl, they prevail with defiant optimism and a good laugh." **** The Up Coming Director: Adrian Shergold Cast: With Maxine Peake, Paddy Considine, Alun Armstrong Run time: 103 mins Peter Rabbit (PG) Tuesday 29th May  1:30pm Wednesday 30th May  1:30pm Thursday 31st May  7:30pm Tickets: £7.00 Adult/£5.00 Under 16's Book online: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/235484 Or call the Box Office: 01691 238167 Peter Rabbit, the mischievous and adventurous hero who has captivated generations of readers, now takes on the starring role of his own irreverent, contemporary comedy with attitude.  In the film, Peter's feud with Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson) escalates to greater heights than ever before as they rival for the affections of the warm-hearted animal lover who lives next door (Rose Byrne).   James Corden voices the character of Peter with playful spirit and wild charm, with Margot Robbie, Elizabeth Debicki, and Daisy Ridley performing the voice roles of the triplets, Flopsy, Mopsy, and Cottontail.

After a mysterious outbreak of 'canine flu', all the hounds of Megasaki City are exiled by the authorities to a colossal rubbish dump known as Trash Island. Atari sets out solo to rescue his beloved pooch, meeting a few new mongrel friends along the way. Together, they end up on a journey that will decide the fate of the entire prefecture. "A winningly affectionate and delightfully detailed dystopian fable." Sight and Sound "This is by some measure Anderson's weirdest concoction ever, in all sorts of good ways. And it probably counts as his most daring, too." **** Daily Telegraph Director: Wes Anderson Cast: Edward Norton, Frances McDormand, Bill Murray, Tilda Swinton, Bryan Cranston, Liev Schreiber, Koyu Rankin, Bob Balaban, Jeff Goldblum, Scarlett Johansson, Kunichi Nomura, Ken Watanabe, Yoko Ono, Akira Ito, Greta Gerwig  Run time: 101 mins Up & Coming Highlights In June Once again we have a wonderful selection of films and live event cinema broadcasts coming up in June.
