It's Oliver, a forum member 😀
This is not the first picture I took since it was displayed on the Sunday but it's the first I wanted to post as the Friday night projection which started the event was preceeded by a thougt for David Guest. Of course I haven't known David as well and as long as others have but enough to appreciate him. I first started to get in relation with him as a customer and I have always been satisfayied with what he sold me. He sent me some pictures of organs which seemed to be one of his other interests. When I told David I intented to come to Blackpool, he kindly sent me his phone number and offered to come to pick me up at the station (which of course I declined since I knew he would be very busy with the organization of the convention). Although he had many things to manage, David Always took time to talk to me (and to others). It has been a great sadness when he annouced his illness. The fact that he decided, knowing he was at the end of his days, to keep on with the Blackoopl convention and spend his precious time with and for us tells something about the man. I cannot thanks enough those who made possible the continuation of the event that matters so much for David. I know it's a lot of work ; the North French Cine Fair of Roubaix didn't survive the death of the organizator, which is a shame. From where he is, I'm sure David Guest is happy to see that the 2019 edition of the Blackpool convetion was a complete success.
The Friday night show was a 16 mm one. Shorty is admiring the Siemens projector that belongs to Nigel (the man with the hat).
The lightning and the sound were improved and much appreciated by the audience.
Nigel found those extenders that fit all the Siemens models but are rare since they were expensive when new.
Audience is arriving, Eldorado with John Wayne and Robert Mitchum will be screened soon.
I finally met (forum member) Oliver (from Germany) I heard so much about from (Belgian) forum member Bruno. Very nice friendly guy.
