Sevenoaks Chronicle

January 5, 1968

    Girls of Sevenoaks Venture Corps took part in the Beatles controversial Magical Mystery Tour shown on BBC television on Boxing Day, were disappointed that scenes in which they appeared were heavily cut.

     In the final scene, where the Beatles sang "Your Mother Should Know." The girls marched through the lavish set dressed in their Venture Corps uniforms. 

    I met five of the girls at Cherry Swift's home at 9 Hillingdon Rise Sevenoaks, and they gave me their views on the film, which was criticized in national reviews. 

    Cherry, 15, enjoyed the film but, like most of her colleagues, was disappointed about their scene. "I thought they could have made more of that," she said.  "About four coach loads of dancers were used in that scene, but when it was shown on Boxing Day, you hardly saw any of them."

     Contrary to popular opinion that the film had no beginning, middle or end. Diane Baldwin, age 14 of 34, Orchard Close Sevenoaks, thought it had all three. "It did have a beginning and a middle when they were going places and the end when they had the big finale." She was disappointed that the public did not see one of their members, Susan Mackrell of the New Inn, St Johns Hill, Sevenoaks, presenting flowers to one of the Beatles. "You only saw a quick flash of that, whereas when they filmed it, there was much more."

     Janet Dyke, age 16, of 3 North Down Road, Kemsing, said, "The film was more for younger people than older people." This, she said, was why most of the complaints came from elderly viewers. 

    Shirley Smith, age 16, of 43, Hillingdon Rise, like the film. But added, "I was disappointed that they left out the bit where we saluted."

 Linda Cuthbert, age 14 of  8 Garden Road Sevenoaks, simply said, "It was all right. I could not see what all the fuss was about."

Walking with Paul

 July 7, 1968 

Paul would typically have a group of girls walk with him from Cavendish Avenue to Abbey Road and back again.   Here, you will notice that someone gave Paul the most recent copy of Beatles Book Monthly to read during the walk.

This is what Lizzie posted on her Facebook about this great photograph:

 I had the pleasure of introducing this young man to my dear friend and his mega fan Nicia who came to London on holiday with her parents. I took this and other photos of them that night. It was quite late and he was leaving the studios.
