A Visit To Wookey
Reviewed by WBJ Higgins - 1975
This early record of a club excursion - together with some screen tests and some footage of the Friese-Green plaque - is in the film library. In it one of the founders of the club is easily recognisable: Canon Gay. A notice saying, "Out of Bounds to ATS" seemed to attract the reverend gentleman who appeared to be attempting to scale the fence. Years later, he attended the 40th Anniversary Wine and Cheese party (1974) and also delighted a large audience at a Best in the West screening at the Clifton College Theatre with an uproariously funny speech. |
