The May 51 Roundabout distribution and mailing list in the Gabby Archives has 84 names and addresses. These included a copy to each of our parents but also to local "worthies" such as Mr A.R.O Foster Insurance .(his wife Julia played the piano for my solos in the early days); Rev. Cannon Page- Phillips, The local Newspapers, Mr L.H.Mottram (Motty), Rev J.N. Mahon, Councilor W.T. Topp, Mrs. Tucker (Church House caretaker) , Mr. Breach (Radios) , and Mr. P. Bollen,
A project of the Photographic and Film Society that was shelved in summer, 1950, may see light in 1951. The proposal is to make a 15- minute documentary film of Wimborne, with the co-operation of Local Authorities and organizations. The Film would be taken on a 9.5-mm. cine-camera and a record made as a commentary.
A provisional scenario was drawn up and it was proposed to run round the clock starting with the first train into Wimborne and finishing with the Telephone Exchange at Midnight. The film would include visits to all firms, works and shops and would give the people of Wimborne an insight into some things that they do not know goes on in Wimborne.
This project will cost somewhere in the region of £20, and the only way that this can be undertaken is to have all funds ready before Filming. If funds are forthcoming we shall take a 3- day programme of filming during the summer holidays.
We appeal to all local organizations and works to co-operate and contact the
secretary of the Film Society. Promises of financial support if the film is
undertaken will be welcomed by the treasurer of the film society
