(Around 17 people attended the meeting in October slighlty lower than usual but
this was the evening of the very wet and very windy Storm Austen )
This was our 'nearly Halloween' meeting so Fancy Dress was welcome (but optional) - prize for best outfit.
Photo shows winner (Irvin as Stan Laurel ) and runners-up from The Second Hundred Years (Lucy and Hunter)
A little 'extra' to open the evening was a filmed interview with the Boys in which Stan mentions his favourite Laurel and Hardy film (Fra Diavolo which was in tonight's programme).

TWICE TWO

FRA DIAVOLO
FRA DIAVOLO
When they lose their life savings to a bandit, Stanlio and Ollio decide that they could recoup their money by becoming bandits themselves. And when they hear of Fra Diavolo (Dennis King), the most feared bandit of all, Ollio decides that he should impersonate him to maximise their income. Unfortunately their intended victim is Diavolo himself … The notorious bandit forces them to join him in his plan to acquire the riches of Lord Rocburg (James Finlayson) and his pretty young wife (Thelma Todd at her most flirtatious).
The cost of the evening was £3 for members (£4 for non-members - including lifetime
