An amateur film produced by Bryan McIvor of the annual Easter bonnet parade taking place inside the Empire Social Club on Hope Street in Haverton Hill in 1967. The first part of the film features female competitors parading their bonnets around the club for their friends and acquaintances to see. Following the parade everyone sits back, enjoy a few drinks and chat accompanied by a band and singer performing on stage. Sadly, large sections of this film appears to be out of focus.
A parade of women all wearing variously decorative Easter bonnets walk around the club past seated patrons who are watching them. The bonnets come in various sizes, shapes and colours. The parade is accompanied by music performed by a band on stage.
Several the women still wearing their bonnets join friends and family around a table in the club. The men all drink pints of beer, many of the women drink half pints. A number begin to sing, some smile at the camera as it passes them. A woman in a fur coat stands and does as quick jig. Couples laugh and smile, a man kisses the cheek of a woman sitting next to him. A woman in a bonnet waves while taking a drink from her glass.
On stage a singer is accompanied by the band and people continue to drink and have a good time. A man wears a bonnet, on stage a woman joins the singer at the microphone and a woman in the audience applauds. A woman in a bonnet sits on her husband's knee as everyone around them continues to drink and be merry. The film ends on more of the club’s patrons drinking and chatting happily as the band continues to perform on stage.
