| Bond At 50Pinewood Studios, London, England - Sunday 21st October 2012
   On Sunday October 21st, we marked the 50th anniversary of 007 with our “Bond At 50” event at Pinewood Studios with a screening of DR NO and a Sunday lunch with guest of honour Sir Roger Moore.               At 9am, guests arrived for morning coffee and browsed our memorabilia and autograph room, mixing with guests from Dr No and other Bond movies before moving to Theatre 7 for a digitally restored high definition screening of the film that started it all. Ahead of the film, some of the cast and crew were introduced: Reg Barkshire, Alan Tomkins, Count Prince Miller, Charles Edghill, Bettine la Beau, Eunice Gayson, Norman Wanstall, Stanley Morgan, Ron Quelch, Trevor Bond  and – a special surprise guest – Monty Norman.

However before he left, he pulled the first ticket in our free raffle – a custom made Cyril Castle suit. It went to Bernard VandenDriessche.

    | THE infamous Terry Bamber | Bettine Le Beau |    Further Q&As followed during the afternoon, including Monty Norman sharing with us how he wrote the James Bond Theme, and other Dr No alumni remembering their experiences on what was considered a rather low budget, small film.

                | Monty Norman - our surprise guest, in conversation. |    Terry Bamber then hosted – in his own unique style – our quiz, and an amazing goody bag of prizes (worth over £250) including a crew jacket, crew t-shirt, blu-ray boxed set, monopoly game, DK books, posters, and many other items.   A further 8 raffle prizes were drawn before afternoon tea, with our specially made “007” cupcakes was served.
