Joy to the world a peace to all Men.. Opps! That should now read individuals in our PC world.
One thing I always look forward to is a good old fashioned Christmas film show which I’m sure will fetch back memories of your childhood and happy ones for you I hope. The School film show at Chrimbo was always something I looked forward to as a kid, watching the teacher set the Eumig up along with screen and a small pile of films present as we eagerly awaited the screening of them one by one. For so many years this excitement led to me getting requests to give Christmas shows to youth groups which is a great part of the hobby for me as one organisation passed the news of someone willing to entertain the young people for free. It is nice to give something back having enjoyed film for so long and even better when a child asks if they can see that film again please. Without doubt Popeye’s ‘Dizzy Divers’ is the most requested cartoon at my shows and although not a Christmas theme there is something in the animation which seems to fascinate younger audiences. The pre Christmas shows commence this week and providing my back holds out lifting the Gs1200 it will be getting an outing for the first programme of films. I’ll let you know later how the shows go and if we have another favourite cartoon with the youngsters.
If you are planning a pre Christmas show why not tell us about it and what you are showing.
