This is the second film evening organised by Leander. In December 2016, the club arranged a viewing of the documentary film The Boys of ’36.
On 22 March, there will be a third supper and film evening. To mark the 30th anniversary of the 1987 Oxford–Cambridge Boat Race, Leander will show the film True Blue. Special guest this evening is Donald Macdonald, president of OUBC in 1986/87, who will provide insights into the dramatic events before, during and after the ‘rebellion’, as he was in the centre of the controversy.
More information will follow.
