club’s members, including some award winning films at recent County and Regional Film Festivals. Historic Film Show – Bombs and Enid Blyton’s childhood One of the Club’s earliest films from the late 1950s – Firtree Gardens - is being shown. It was especially made for the local Civil Defence about the effects of a bomb explosion, and shows places and people from Orpington as they were back then (audience members may even spot themselves!). It includes several views of the High Street, local residents ‘role playing’, and has a background music track provided by Orpington’s own Orchestra at that time. Also being shown is an award-winning (Kent Film Festival) docu-drama about the childhood life of Enid Blyton, who lived within the Bromley Borough. It traces her life from birth in 1897 through to her first successes as an author in the 1920s and reveals her joys, disappointments and her determined desire to be a writer against all odds. | The OVFM show always attracts large audiences from far and wide, especially as the tickets (which should be bought or ordered in advance), cost a mere £5 and include refreshments during the interval.
