Event Details

The February meeting will give members a chance to enjoy some nostalgia. Paul Goodwin has digitalised a series of films showing life in the Glenkens. There will probably be very little talking, just a short couple of minutes introduction, followed by around 50 minutes of (silent) film. No need for people to sit in silence though, as people may wish to comment on or chat about what they are seeing. Spotting things like boys in short trousers and use of shopping baskets can be seen in this still of Dalry.
Come along and contribute to the enjoyment of the evening. Members free, visitors £3,
