UK Convention 2008
(13
minutes)
The Sons gather for a fine
conclave in Wigan, organised by the Bacon Grabbers
Tent. Toasts are in order. Cocktails lead to much
singing and fancy dress is plentiful. Then there
are games, a quiz and more singing. If you were
there, you are probably on this DVD!
UK Convention 2007
(12
minutes)
Tents parade at the
convention in Stoke, organised by the Midnight
Patrol Tent. The Avalon Boys give their farewell
performance. There is time for watching pottery
being made and a visit to a toilet museum. Monkey
business is followed by a recreation of Brushwood
Casino with gambling, a hold-up and dancing. A
quiz, a photo-shoot with Stan and Ollie actors and
memorabilia sales pave the way for entertainment
before the Fancy Dress Contest. There is an auction
and then more singing.
UK Convention 1989
(3
minutes)
Faces from the past jolt
our memories of a vintage convention from the Be
Big Tent. It includes a protracted lineup for
photographs, a visit to Coronation Street and a
game of pee wee. Dave Walker was the Sons'
cameraman for this super 8 gem.
Panopticon 2008
(4
minutes)
