August 2013 Release’s Friday 2nd August THE SMURFS 2 The evil wizard Gargamel creates a couple of mischievous Smurf-like creatures called the Naughties that he hopes will let him harness the all-powerful, magical Smurf-essence. But when he discovers that only a real Smurf can give him what he wants, and only a secret spell that Smurfette knows can turn the Naughties into real Smurfs, Gargamel kidnaps Smurfette and brings her to Paris, where he has been winning the adoration of millions as the world¹s greatest sorcerer. It's up to Papa, Clumsy, Grouchy, and Vanity to return to our world, reunite with their human friends Patrick and Grace Winslow, and rescue her!

Wednesday 14th August KICK ASS 2 After Kick-Ass' insane bravery inspires a new wave of self-made masked crusaders, led by the badass Colonel Stars and Stripes, our hero joins them on patrol. When these amateur superheroes are hunted down by Red Mist -- reborn as The Mother F%&*^r -- only the blade-wielding Hit Girl can prevent their annihilation. When we last saw junior assassin Hit Girl and young vigilante Kick-Ass, they were trying to live as normal teenagers Mindy and Dave. With graduation looming and uncertain what to do, Dave decides to start the world's first superhero team with Mindy. Unfortunately, when Mindy is busted for sneaking out as Hit Girl, she's forced to retire-leaving her to navigate the terrifying world of high-school mean girls on her own. With no one left to turn to, Dave joins forces with Justice Forever, run by a born-again ex-mobster named Colonel Stars and Stripes. Just as they start to make a real difference on the streets, the world's first super villain, The Mother F%&*^r, assembles his own evil league and puts a plan in motion to make KickAss and Hit Girl pay for what they did to his dad. But there's only one problem with his scheme: If you mess with one member of Justice Forever, you mess with them all.

LOCAL NCT BRANCH NEED BUMPS & BABIES HELPERS
19
The NCT Gloucester Branch run a weekly Bumps & Babies group and we are in desperate need of enthusiastic volunteers to help keep these going. The weekly meetings are a fantastic way to meet new and expectant mums and dads, whether it is their first, second or fifth baby but without helpers they will be unable to continue. The group runs every Tuesday 10:30am to 12 at the Salvation Army Hall, Gloucester. Set up by parent charity NCT, Bumps and Babies groups provide relaxed and informal gettogethers, in community venues with enough room for buggies, babies and a close circle of parents. It is a great place for parents and parents-to-be to make new friends, share tips and chat with those going through the same things. There are other ways to get involved with your local Gloucester branch as well and team roles are varied, interesting and fun – you can use different skills and there’s something for everyone, even if you only have a small amount of time to offer. Support is always given by the team – you’ll get a sense of pride and achievement for your efforts, make new friends and have some useful experience to add to your CV too. Gloucester, NCT Publicity Officer Karen Knowlton said: ”The bumps and babies weekly meetings are a lovely way of meeting new parents and parents to be at the same stage as you, they are a great lifeline and provide a valuable network that can be really needed in the early days of parenthood as a new mum or dad, without volunteers we would lose these meetings and that would be a real shame” If you are interested, please contact, Karen on GlosNCT@gmail.com. Or come to one of our weekly summer picnics in the park (www.nct.org.uk/gloucester).
