Bromsgrove Railway Club
4:43pm Wednesday 25th August 2010
WE start the autumn/winter programme on Wednesday, September 8, with a cine film presentation from our old friend John Constable from Redditch. As always, this will be a very interesting evening as John has a very large collection of cine films at his disposal. This presentation is called The Golden Age of Steam, so this covers a very wide area in which to show cine films. John will be showing some very early footage from the 1900s right up to the 1980s. His presentations always have the personal touch in which John even shows adverts which you used to see years ago at the cinema – the golden age of the silver screen. We meet, as always, at St Godwald’s church hall in Aston Fields. Doors open 7.15 for a 7.45pm start.
