info@bletchleypark.org.uk




Join us at the Projected Picture Trust's Enigma Cinema for this year's Film Show.



The programme will be as follows:



19:00hrs

Speed Up On Stirlings

Made for the Ministry of Information in 1942 at the Shorts Shadow Factory near Swindon, the film shows how an increase in production of the Stirling Bomber was achieved.



Ship Busters

The story of a raid on a German Convoy is used to exemplify the offensive action by the Royal Airforce Coastal Command against enemy shipping.



Deck Landing

An introductory film on the equipment and procedures for handling, take-off and landing on a British Aircraft Carrier.



19:55hrs

15 minute interval



20:10hrs

Western Approaches

Directed by Pat Jackson this film, which took two years to make, depicts the perilous life led by merchant seamen. The film tells the story of a number of seamen lost in the Atlantic in a small lifeboat and of their rescue by a merchant ship. The realism of the film is enhanced by the acting of the cast, all of whom were serving officers and seamen, rather than professional actors.



20:35hrs

Queen Trailer






Only 50 tickets are available in total and admission is not included in the season ticket price. Tickets cost £10 and must be booked and paid for in advance. Friends of Bletchley Park discounts apply. Mince pies and wine will be served in the interval.

Scribal Gathering's Christmas Bash - Tues 11th Dec

Posted: 11 Dec 2012 05:38 AM PST


Ho ho ho / Bah Humbug*

*Delete as appropriate

Christmas comes earlier every year, and Scribal Gathering jumps on the seasonal bandwagon once again on Tuesday 11th December for a feast of pre-emptive festive fayre - a bit like having the works Christmas do in November, the advent calendars in the shops in October, or Slade on the radio by August.


'Tis the season to be jolly-well up to your ears in the overdraft and ding-donging merrily on high-interest payday loans, so for one evening this month, hide your financial anxieties under the carpet, forget about strained relationships with distant family and push your emotional obligations aside as we hang a stockingful of music and poetry beside the fireplace of open mic. And try to remember not to leave a candle going and burn the house down.

Sliding down your chimney to leave a surprise by the tree and get filthy footprints on the new Axminster is this month's headline poet, the wonderful Vinnie Gibbons, whilst the featured musical performers getting hammered on egg-nog and telling everyone what they really think of them are the fabulous Dodobones, supported by The Antipoet on cold turkey and probably nicking the sherry.

There is also the open-ended, open-minded, open-them-all-in-two-minutes-and-lose-the-labels open-mic, welcoming all performers of any kind, to sing, play, read and recite before a warm and welcoming audience. Just keep the receipts in case they have to go back.

Join us...

When: Tuesday 11th September, doors open 7.30 for 8.00 start

Where: The Crown, Market Square, Stony Stratford MK11 1BE



How: Sign up for open mic on the night. Arrive early to avoid disappointment. Or arrive after the pubs shut with a Santa hat on, claiming that John said it would be alright to come, then heading to the fridge and caining whatever you can find
