ON THE BUSES

ON THE BUSES DAY EVENT

Saturday 28TH JUNE 2008

SOLD OUT

Okay folks the event is now full, so thanks to everyone who has booked tickets. Due to moving location we can not now arrange to have a buffet lunch included due to increased costs; so you may want to bring a packed lunch. Teas and Coffees etc will still be available, there are also plenty of cafes and such like in the town.

Anyone who has a meal in GREENFIELDS RESTAURANT in Boreham Wood High Street[shenley Road] on the 28th or 29th of June and who produces their ON THE BUSES pass will receive a free drink. Thanks Robert
Nearer the time I will send out to everyone who is joining us on this event an itenary with information and maps . There is a waiting list you can go on in case we get any cancellations.
Hopefully we can make it a yearly event but just in the interest of market research at this stage, how many fans would be interested in a ON THE BUSES Pontins event in Prestatyn in 2009.

Great to know there are so many fans out there and look forward to meeting you on the 28th June

The evening event is organised by the Elstree Film Festival and is not an ON THE BUSES event but some ON THE BUSES fans will be attending, however it is an adult only evening. We are awaiting further info so this is all we have so far;

Any of you who have booked tickets for the ON THE BUSES event can now also reserve tickets for the 24th annual Elstree Film Evening. This is in the evening of Saturday 28th June after the ON THE BUSES day event.

The event will be held this year in the Elstree Film studios and admission will only be by ticket purchased in advance (they will not be sold on the night for security reasons).

Adults only Tickets will be £10 each.

Doors open at 7pm and the event starts at 7.30pm. There will be a licensed pay bar. The entertainment is still being finalized but will include film and tv music from the BBC Elstree Concert Band and rare film clips, etc.

A free booklet and souvenir dvd will be given issued to attendees celebrating 80 years of film and tv production at Elstree.

Various stars connected with Elstree past and present will be invited.

So it is a very rare chance for the public to come into the studio, plus a chance to get some autographs, a free gift, buy some merchandise, etc.
