I know that the Ealing convention has been visited by members. I normally go twice a year and before that the Top Hat club and before that It's hard to remember all the venues going back into the 70's. Next month starts the events again. Hearing from members who go to other places like Tadley Big Screen Time, Blackpool or Derann open days etc., would be interesting. I only know some of the faces at some of these events and sometimes it gets busy looking round the stalls and watching the film shows. Living in Milton Keynes it's quite easy to get to most places of the country.

We are going to the 50th this year and hopefully next year will try a Derann open day.
Unfortunatly i'm still reeling at Duncans departure as i had a good repor with him and always had a light laugh with him on the phones and at the few conventions at Ealing we went to so i do hope the others are the same. Duncan was always the face and voice of Derann.

I think that will probably be down to Gary now to keep that ligthearted side of Derann going [Smile]

Kev.

Kevin I totaly agree on that one. Duncan was the 0ne that I tended to talk to and Gary. Derek had a good scence of humour every time I spoke to him and he is still missed on there open days. At the end of the day all staff at Derann get my vote.
