You have some interesting
programmes.Will you be showing
any films with clara bow?
As 2015 is the 50th anniversary
of her death a commerative programme would be nice,
but why wait till then

Hi Ray,
We have been looking into another possible Clara event (after last years Slapstick event we had with Kevin Brownlow). In light of the BBC documentary, we might go back to her sometime early next year. Watch this space.

Do you ever venture any further North ? Surely you can’t all be members of the Flat Earth Society.
Ever hopefully yours John Howarth

Hi John,
Sadly not at the moment (in ref to the events further North; no comment in ref to the Flat Earth Society). We have had the odd event in Edinburgh over the years; but no plans to go any further North in the future. Apart from a one off Slapstick event sometime later in the next month or so. Will post something about that nearer the time.
Cheers
Bristol Silents
