Great to see some of the old films made by long standing members in their early days of film making. I thought it was a real fun evening.

First up was Hugh Darrington explaining "Why (He) Stopped Playing Golf" and in the process demonstrating why we should be thankful he did. Alan Smith's first loves was guns. I guess that means his marriage to Cherie was a "Shotgun Wedding"? Boom boom! Not quite sure what to make of Jim Morten-Robertson's "past love" explained through a comic effort entitled "Red Sky" which featured Hugh Darrington (again) as a Russian spy. I don't wish to sound rude but the accent was awful. Was that supposed to be Scottish, Jim? We were supposed to have a film entitled High hopes but it wouldn't play so instead we were treated to a non-related but fun diversion with Hugh Darrington (again!!) as a weather man. In the shocker of the night Mike Turner's past love wasn't Doris Day related but a cricket bat. I'm saying no more. Derek Allen recalled with fondness the golden age of "Black & White Films" next then Lady Annabelle of Lancaster shared some vintage footage of the "Markets Of Paris". Hubby Reg was up next with his insight into the making of the "Final 4 Star" edition of the Daily Express newspaper to come from Fleet Street way back in 19-hundred-and-frozen-to-death. A Barbara Darby (yes that one) shared with us a film shot in Costa Rica about coffee. I'm told that Barbara is now 6 years clean and is much better now she's ditched the caffeine for heroin. Thank God we here at OVFM are not a perverse bunch, eh? ;) So, “Past Love” was the theme and we had some interesting interpretations on the theme.
