Another wonderful Operators Night was held at The Langham Hotel in London on Friday 1st December, an exquisite venue offering a grand ballroom full of wonderful members and guests. The evening was hosted by President Mike Eley BSC assisted by 'Master of Ceremonies - 1st AD Marcus Catlin. We were extremely grateful to have Ralph Fiennes as our Guest of Honour this year.

The evening was dedicated to Mark Milsome GBCT/ACO who was tragically killed on set recently which has been a huge shock to his family and colleagues. Peter MacDonald BSC who has known the Milsome family for many years, read the tribute to Mark which was followed by a toast from the society. He will be deeply missed.
There is a fundraiser for Mark's family, should anyone like to contribute to this: https://fundrazr.com/mark-milsome?ref=ab_070e1d_ab_7vcpzozvzOR7vcpzozvzOR
