The sale of copies of Roger Kirk's films of scout camps was launched in the Spring Newsletter 2006 and we have now added two films of school life in the 40s and 50s. The article below is reprinted from the Autumn Newsletter 2007.
Historic DVDs of Bolton School
The Association has widened the list of historic DVDs for sale by paying for the copying of the films of the late Mr George Higginson. There are two films of school life each lasting around 45 minutes. The first was made in 1945-6 and the second, prize-winning, film in 1951. The films (silent with music added in the 70s or 80s) give a brilliant impression of school life more than 50 years ago and are of interest to OBs of any age - not just those of that vintage. We also still have copies of the DVDs of Roger Kirk's films of the scout camps of 1963 Monzie, 1964 Dolgellau, 1967 Monzie, 1968 Killarney,1969 Dolgellau, 1970 Duns, 1972 Aberffrwd, 1973 Eyemouth, 1974 Ardchattan (Oban), 1975 Llanwrtyd, 1975 Llanwrtyd, 1976 Aberffrwd, 1977 Eyemouth, 1978 Ardchattan (Oban), 1980 Aberffrwd,1981 Eyemouth, 1982 Ardchattan (Oban), 1983 Dolgellau, 1987 Dolgellau.
