Next year is the OHMSS 40th anniv. Does anybody know if a reunion is planned, al the GF one this year? I would very much like to join my OHMSS fellow collectors, and I volunteer to bring my Olive Green DBS, complete w/ sniper scope (!) to the event. Let's get going on this, 2009 is nearly here!

I am busy just now but will looking into this idea in great depth soon... I have spoken privitely to some major collectors and bond players and it could be a winner.
One thing I have learned in life is that if you want somethign go for it ,,, u want something done do it yourself... ,, and if the usual chanels dont supply something go above and beyond them to get it.

seems like a good place to hold it ... the major Bond element ... if you got a bog group of Bond fans together you could practicaly have the run of the village were it is... nice and quiet etc

Charming, seems Scotland lacks a sense of humour as well as Bond locations.
No doubt Bondstars.com will be arranging something for next year, probably in Pinewood, which is not as good as Piz Gloria obviously, bt they do have George Lazenby on their books still and I'm sure he would be up for it. Their events are usually very good indeed and I can't see them missinga monumental ocasion such as this.
also there are quite a few Bond locations and Bond related places in Scotland .. were they filmed the FRWL boat chase and the helichopter chase... there is many places from the novels .. etc.. also there is the TWINE MI6 headquarters castle.
yea great sense of humour up here,
its typical english houmor that lacks it. take some of your english comedians for example ..
lenny henry .I though he was dead ,, oh no just saw him die on his AR** many a time .
who else my god the circuit is full of them...
Peter kay - a blob that need to change that bloody blue shirt once in a while, You can almost smell the BO through the TV.
garlic bread and cheese cake sorry but it wasnt funny to begin with ,... its time you stopped playing blackpool were the gene puddles laugh at anything.. mostly because there pi**ed out of there heads on special brew before he comes on ... and it aint great when your biscut breaks into your cup of tea...
the only english comedian that has ever been any good is paul whitehouse from the fast show... the guy is a genius.. although technicaly he aint a stand up but still there should be a statue somewere of him.
and Harry hill is is best comedian on TV at the moment the guy is another genuis

I have communicated with Bondstars, and they have written back that, at this time, they have no interest in doing an OHMSS 40th, as they said that they have just done a Lazenby gig within 2 years, and there wouldn't be enough interest. I disagree, especially now that this AJB site has grown, and more people are interested in Bond than ever before! Just look at Aston prices in general, and, more specifically, the DBS OHMSS model has DOUBLED in 2 years, just like the DB5 did!
OHMSS itself has grown tremendously in interest, and nearly every thread I read about that film ranks it in the top 3 Bonds.
Let's get together on this, and have an ultimate 40th reunion. Holding it at Piz Gloria would be one idea, however, the vast majority of fans need a larger, easier to get to venue, and I agree that the Bo'ness museum, with its Bond Bar, may be the ideal venue, especially if Bondstars shows no interest, and we can't get Pinewood.
WHATEVER we do, we must start planning NOW, and come up with a date and venue by the end of May, which would only be 1 year from the date of the event. I suggest holding it from May-Sept, for the weather, and ease of Intl travel.
Let's get Lazenby booked, and maybe Dame Diana...
We could all team up instead of putting the idea down... its all good and well to sit on these forums and slag off ideas and sugestions .... but it would be alot better to come in with some positive information ... and input ... so that when you attend the event . you can see how your input and time has payed off... and obviously there would be an event brochure which would acknowledge your input

You wrote to me, and stated that your company had "..no interest in doing it again," after the night with GL and OHMSS screening.
Therefore, we can only construe that Bondstars is not planning anything for OHMSS 40th.
If you are, then let's pool our resources.
It will take quite a long time to book this event, and it worries me that you also wrote that you don't "plan that far ahead."
I do, because I am planning on sacrificing over 1 year of ownership of my new DBS, that is in England, that I will leave there instead of bringing her back to the USA, just so it can be part of the 40th OHMSS. That level of committment you won't find every day, and I would appreciate it if you would step up, and pledge to do the event, or not. ScaramangasGG has written to me, and now is trying to book the Bo'ness museum, and working on GL. He is totally committed to making the OHMSS 40th a success, and I invite you to join in, and make it the mega hit that your company delivers!
when A good Idea comes around ... at first its brushed aside then all of a sudden ... it might be a winner.

I agree pulling recourses on this would be a better idea than a dispute...
I am however involved in the planing of some event coming soon...
i do hope to start making plans soon ...
Gumbold... I think it would be better if you took you car back to the US . where it would be a lot safer and would cost you less for the restoration...
I also agree Diana rigg would cost a lot... and send the event way over the top ... but we can try no harm in that ... it is a film aniversary that most deffinetly should be celabrated in a major way...
I will be back on my website updating and doing a lot of prop work and planning for events such as this next week... 24 - 7
