Everybody wanted a cinema trip tonight, and King Kong seemed to be the film of the moment. With the film running for more than three hours we needed to start the social at 5pm instead of 7, so we had a packed evening of top quality entertainment. As for the film - well, it boasted a very convincing monkey and was packed full of action sequences, but it couldn't help being based on a story that's a bit out of date. None of the youngsters liked the ending, but everyone enjoyed their evening out.
