Give The Girls a Lift

Try your luck on the Tombola and help raise money to buy a lift for Halliwick School's disabled girls

An inspiring film of a fundraising event in Winchmore Hill, which features an array of classic games (grand prizes include a prime turkey), performances and miniature trains. The fete is ultimately a success - the film culminates with a scene that shows a new hand-operated lift in use – and was shot by a local amateur filmmaker, who was part of Planet Films and a member of the Southgate Rotary Club.

This film is from the collection of Enfield Local Studies, Library and Archive, a member of the London's Screen Archives Network.
