Description: The film starts with the title card ‘Scrapbook for 1983/4’ from Pinner Cine Society. Outside a Safeway supermarket in Pinner a crowd of people in fancy dress are going on a charity walk. Some of the costumes include clowns, mummies, Robin from Batman and Robin.

The next film clip is about the ‘Harrow Marathon’; there is a long yellow banner with the Harrow Marathon on it attached to some railings by an industrial park. The runners are seen running through the streets of Harrow wearing sports wear of the time and displaying running numbers on their chests. They are sharing the road with a variety of cars from the time including Ford Escorts and Cortina’s, Volkswagen camper van and a green local bus. The runners are seen running through an urban area, past a number of houses. Some spectators line the street. Towards the end of the clip an attendant for the event is seen wearing a yellow vest and waving a red flag, standing in front of some houses. The runners shown in the film are from the previous years marathon, 1983, as per the narration.

The following clip is the Shrove Tuesday Pancake Race. There is a large crowd of people standing in the centre of the town. The spectators are wrapped up in coats and hats as its winter. Ronnie Barker can be seen talking to some of the crowd and then later seen holding a collection tin and chatting. He is wearing his famous glasses. The crowds are also watching a group of Morris Dancers in their costumes. Contestants are seen signing up for the race, crowding round a table, a list of names being written down. One of the races, it looks like the ladies race, takes place probably in the centre of town as whilst the spectators run from and back to the start a church and other buildings surround where the race is taking place. There is also a second race with a group of Morris Dancers this looks in a slightly different location to the main race as they are on the wide pavement next to a street with traffic, with some old beamed buildings in shot.

At approximately 5 minutes in the film shows a selection of suburban landscape shots, showing tree lined streets, pink blossom on the trees, the shot then shows ‘Gayton Library’. The narration disappears at this point. Inside the library there appears to be a meeting, a large group of people standing and sitting listening to a speaker in amongst the bookshelves. We then see a number of people looking around an exhibition, probably Arts and Crafts as there are a number of paintings and pottery adorning shelves and tables in the hall. Towards the end of this clip the narration comes back.

The film then goes back to the outside for the Pinner bank holiday fair day. The narration, music and fair ground sounds from the day are also there. It’s a sunny day for the fair, the camera person is on the Ferris wheel and we see pinner from the this point of view, going round wheel, the houses, buildings and trees. Around the wheel are fair stalls and a helter skelter. There are various shots of the fair arriving along the streets in the centre of pinner, large lorries looking like they might be stuck getting around the corner, three policemen are discussing something in shot before heading to help, children on bikes and adults watch. The fairground is in view, a selection of different rides and a lot of people; rides include an old fashioned merry-go-round as well as more modern rides. There are a lot of people. The camera team returns to take some night shots with a low light camera to film the fair ground staff dismantling the fair and cleaning away.

A new Safeway supermarket comes to Pinner. There is a large group of spectators and potential customers waiting for the supermarket to open, outside; inside the employees look ready for the customers; a brass band plays outside, and there are some scenic shots of the town of Pinner buildings from the upper floor of the car park as well as the cars parked there.

The next clip is the Police Tug-O-War on Little Common, Pinner. The groups taking part were ‘E Division, Hertfordshire Police, Running Horse (possibly a pub) and DPG.’ The two teams in battle were E Division and Running Horse, according to the narration. One was wearing yellow shirts and one in blue and pulling the rope in opposite directions. They are in front of a crowd of spectators young and old watching the entertainment. Cars can be seen parked behind the crowd and a stills cameraman can be seen in some shots.

As well as the Police tug o war there was also the Pint-to-Pint race on Little Common. A group of spectators watch and competitors start the race on the common, some dressed in fancy dress. They run to take a drink of beer there before heading off in the pairs (one in a wheelbarrow and one pushing) dashing into the town to the pubs in the race. Spectators line the park and then in the town as the competitors race towards the various pubs. They run past various town buildings on the pavement with traffic and spectators in view. A pub sign can be seen clearly, this is ‘The Queens Head – Benskins’ brewery. They race through the town and then come to a stop behind some buildings, possibly in a car park. The competitors stop there; get out of their wheelbarrows and head to a long table in front of wall that has a lot of full glasses of beer and a small crowd of people near to the table.

The scene that follows is outside Pinner village hall; there is bunting around the building and a crowd of people standing in front. A few people are standing by the main doors facing the crowd, one is probably the mayor, who is wearing his formal dress. He is talking into a microphone. The crowds are then seen to applaud. Inside the hall there are a number of stalls selling bric a brac, outside there is a large animal shaped orange bouncy castle with a number of children on it. There is also a miniature steam railway offering rides for 10p; a number of children of varying ages parade around a ring in a variety of fancy dress costumes. There is a table display by ‘Harrow and ‘Wembley Society of Model Engineers’ showing a selection of model steam engines. Outside a number of police are there in uniform showing their police rover car and motorbike. A boy in an orange jacket is looking at the car.

The final clip is called ‘Wrapping up’ and a man is showing people how to wrap a parcel of goods in brown paper and string. This takes place inside a village hall. Three other people then come to the tables to start wrapping a number of goods. It could be a game show of some sort. There are a number of photographers and filmmakers in the hall with cameras and lighting equipment.

At the end there is a title card that says ‘That’s All, See you next year'. There are some title cards throughout the film to separate a number of the clips. These title cards are all hand drawn. There is also a narration over the top for some of the film that fades in and out along with some music or background noise of events.
