Thanks Stell for keeping us up to date . I remember a school field trip to the cinema to see Olivia Hussey in Romeo & Juliet. It was the book we were assigned for "O" level. We were all so excited to be going to the movies during school time.

Crikey Genbrit, we must be the same age because I well remember our school taking
us to Worcester (UK) to see Romeo & Juliet because we were studying it for O Levels.
I lived in the sticks with very few cinema trips so it was quite a nice trip!

Sallydaisy, It would have been 1969 I believe as I left school that year as well, aged 16. Our school was walking distance to the cinema, along a walkway that bordered the boys school on one side and a church and graveyard on the other.
