Tickets are £12.00, which includes drinks and nibbles, including some birthday cake as there are two birthdays that day, of course!

Date set for screening of Finding the Pathfinders

We have a date!

Finding The Pathfinders

11th September, 2013, The Kinema in the Woods, Woodhall Spa. Doors open 11.10am. The film and various events will start at 11.20am for a 2pm finish, including a very special fly-past! (weather permitting).

Our premier of "Finding the Pathfinders" will be on a very special day. Douglas Percy Cannings DFM, will be celebrating his 90th birthday.
Coincidently, The Kinema will be 91 years old the very same day!

I suspect there may be cake...

Tickets will go on sale shortly, along with limited edition DVDs of the film signed by the star of the documentary himself. We have some great footage already, amazing stories and lots more to come before we put it all together for you on the 11th September.
We hope to see you there!

E-mail problems 15th April

Just a quick note that we're experiencing problems with accessing our e-mail today.

Use sharoncannings@btinternet.com if you need to contact us urgently. When we've sorted out our gremlins we'll update this post.

Revelations from our article in The Glaswegian!

Had some fantastic e-mails from a lady whose uncle flew with Dad in 100 squadron!

Andrew Coulter Barr was killed only a month before the end of the war. All bar one of his crew died on the 8th April 1945, and we have now in our possession new photos and a first hand account of the crash that fateful night from the tail gunner who miraculously survived.

Amazing stuff, and possibly a lead on another Scottish crew mate too...

It was all too much for Sandy, my sister, when we filmed her reaction to these new stories. A few mascara moments! This documentary is going to be a wonderful testament to the selfless, unassuming young men that risked, and gave their lives on a daily basis.

We may not have been successful with funding, but we have a burning desire to get these stories told. True, it means that myself and Martin shoulder a great deal of the work ourselves, unable to pay for people to help us (and we are most certainly NOT going to ask anyone but ourselves to work unpaid) but we know that as long as we can sell 180 tickets to our screening in Woodhall Spa, we'll cover all our costs.
We may even be able to involve the wider community with our filming still- more news on that over the coming weeks.

When we know the exact date (either 11th or 12th September) we'll let you know, and if at all possible come along! In fact, bring a friend... bring five! Share our labour of love.

Many thanks to Joe McGuire for the lovely article he ran today about Finding the Pathfinders.

Let's hope that it finds the right people out there and they get in touch!

Pathfinder Fudge!

Here it is... Pathfinder Fudge!

Made especially for Ermine Street Project CIC by the Captain's Ephemeral Emporium, this fudge is a plain fudge (or plane...geddit??) with a hint of chocolate.

All profits for this limited edition fudge will go towards the filming costs for Finding the Pathfinders. Remember, we were unsuccessful with our funding bids so your support is crucial. More fundraising events will go on in the next couple of months- watch this space.

If you haven't watched our trailer already, take a look here:

Go on, treat yourself to a bag of delicious fudge today and do some good, too! (Did you know that fundraising fudge has no calories...?) OK, we may have made that last bit up...

The fudge will be sent to you via first class post in a 150g bag and will keep for at least two weeks, although it doesn't tend to stick around once the bag is opened, we find! You discover new friends when a bag of fudge is opened...

Buy it now- you know you want to...

Fudge ingredients:

Sugar, double cream, golden syrup, milk, butter, milk chocolate (chocolate contains cocoa mass, cocoa butter, lechitin) 

The fudge may contain nut traces as it is made in a kitchen that handles nuts.

We'll be holding some open days in Lincolnshire over the next couple of months to tell all you good folks how you can get involved. Look out for Sharon in the local press and media too!

This is how we would like people to help:

 1. Do you want to help us find the crew mates that we're looking for?
2. Are you 19 this year? The same age as many veterans were in 1943? Do you want to find out more about what the "bomber boys" went through exactly 70 years ago?
3. Do you have Lincolnshire wartime memories to contribute to the film?
4.. Do you want to come along to a 40s night fundraiser in Lincolnshire this Spring?
5. Do you have something you could contribute to a fundraising raffle?
5. Would you come along to a "get involved" afternoon that will tell you more about the project and how you can help?
6. Do you wish to book yourself a ticket to our gala screening this autumn?

Just want to contribute to our fundraising to help us make this a reality? You're more than welcome! We're busy raising £2000 to enable us to pay for filming permits and travel expenses for the relatives to come and meet Mr Cannings at a special day at East Kirkby Aviation Centre.
