ABC Minors
Did your love for the cinema begin with your first "ABC Minors
Matinee"?
Those were the days when going to the pictures was more than watching
one film and going home, as we do today. When the experience was
something you would look forward to all week and cherish as a memory
for even longer.
No matter how you gained entrance, paid your 1d.; handed over your jam
jar; or was let in by a friend at the backdoor ~ the entertainment was
fun and wholesome.
It was quite an occasion when you celebrated your birthday, been called
up on stage, were hundred of "happy" children were encouraged to sing
happy birthday to you. While everyone was in full voice the bouncing
ball providing encouragement for you to add your voice to the tune of
Blaze Away
The ABC Minors Song
(Sung to the tune of ‘Blaze Away’)
We are the boys and girls well known
as Minors of the ABC
And every Saturday we line up
To see the films we like
And shout aloud with glee
We love to laugh and have a singsong
Such a happy crowd are we
We’re all pals together
The minors of the ABC
