Nineteen hardy souls braved the arctic weather to take part in our first meeting of 2013. We met at the new time of 7:30pm.Tony introduced four short films from the
British Council Film Collection that were all made in the 1940s. The films aimed to promote the idea of "British" and "Britishness" and to counteract the Nazi propaganda of the time. 85 of the 120 films produced are digitised and available free online. The four that Tony showed us were about gardens, agriculture, Kew Gardens and Boston. The last was entitled "A Country Town"; since it was made during the war its location was not revealed. It brought back memories for some of our members.
