The 54th BFCC has to go down as "The Italian Job". Eight Italian enthusiasts came over for this one.

The BFCC team consisted of (from left to right) Paul Garrick, Timothy Poole, David Pannell, Mark Williams, John Bird, Robert Tucker, Mike Peckham, John Clancy and Keith Wilton.

Guest pianist Costa Fotopoulos provided accompaniment on the grand piano to a selection of four silent films introduced by Richard Landes who can be seen in the image below at the conclusion of the "Picture Show-Man" presentation.
