Welwyn Festival is once more with us and has bought wonderful weather ! WFRS will once again be showing some of its past films - on Wednesday 28th and Thursday at 8 pm in the Civic Centre. Come along on Wednesday to see what our village was like in 1972, 1987 and 2002 - on Thursday we will be showing films from 1978, 1993 and 2008. You may even see yourself !
Our 1972 and 1987 films recently been restored and you can see 35 year plus scenes in much greater quality. As a taster can you remember when we very nearly lost our last High Street grocers......

For 50 years the Welwyn Film record Society has been filming events around the village and producing an annual film. It would be great to include last night’s exceptional weather and flooding in the 2023 film, but we were taken unawares and weren’t able to get any film ! If anyone has any video clips from their phones which they would be willing to share for this year’s film we’d be very appreciative. Please send them on via messenger or to [email protected]. Many Thanks !

Last Friday was the funeral of Mick Tanner, for many years one of the village’s firemen and a much respected Welwyn resident. There was a great turnout to honour Mick with fire appliances from Welwyn and Biggin Hill at St Mary’s Church.
With the permission of Mick’s family, Welwyn Film Record Society would like to include coverage of this in it’s 2022 film, in Mick’s memory. We were able to take some film clips but would much appreciate being able to use any film which any of the people there took.
If you attended the funeral and took any film you would be willing to allow us to use please consider sending it to us. It can be sent to our FB page (just search Welwyn Film Record Society) or please contact us.
