STEVE COX WRITES :
The Old Year went out with the usual festivities and Unit parties, and there is one in particular I would like to mention : the Crown Film Unit Reunion. This is an annual "do" for all members who have been associated with the Unit, and invitations are sent out by the organisers. So if any of you who are ex-members of the Crown Unit did not get notified about the last Reunion in December, please send your particulars to John Legard if you are interested in future gatherings.
Terry Trench
I understand that Terry Trench, who, you may remember, went to Australia to work on the Olympic Games Film, has decided to stay in the sun, down-under, to "cut" another film.
Hard Luck, George!
Recently I mentioned George Noble and Cyril Sirapoff. George, as you know, is on leave, and Cyril is "standing-in" for him and staying in George's bungalow. Well, I met George and his brother Joe, and I enquired if there was any news from the Gold Coast. George laughed and said " Oh yes, I've had a letter from Cyril, and he informs me that he's had a burglary and all my shirts have been stolen." Hard luck, George ! Still, I understand they are insured, so have a grand time on your leave.
Now for 1957. I sincerely hope it will be a prosperous one for us all, and I trust I shall be able to keep you fully informed of the news. I should like to thank all those who have helped with information during the past twelve months and I will wind up by saying : my ambition is to have a full-page "spread", as we did in the December issue, every month, so please help me to help you.
