The Errol Flynn Blog

There is a tulip producer here in Tasmania that has produced a new variety of tulip that is a bright red and is one of the first to bloom in the season. However it has not been named as yet and we have sent in some names including Captain Blood for their consideration. I will actually be at this farm on a tour in another two weeks and will put some pressure on to honour Errol, I am a tour coach driver.

Now is your chance to enter your opinion on the new name, just go to this link www.vdqbulbs.com… and send them an email of your suggestion.

Hi one and all.

We showed you an article from Leonard Maltin recently and then we contacted him to thank him for it. He asked us for a few more pictures which, with Rory's blessing, we forwarded and he used some of them in his next article which can be found at blogs.indiewire.com…

Regards

Hi All

One of our society members has this poster and would like to know a little bit more about it. It is one metre wide and one and a half metres tall and is not flimsy paper but on a cardboard type backing. Does any one have an idea as to how to describe it and any other useful info on it?

Regards

Steve

G’day from <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = “urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags” />Hobart, Tasmania

This article from one of the worlds most respected film critics would have been read by people throughout the world and our society should be proud of our efforts to recognise Errol Flynn here in Hobart.

I corresponded with Mr Maltin and he requested a few more pics so with Rory's blessing I forwarded some to him especially Rory and our Lord Mayor unveiling the star and Rory at the reserve.

May we first say Merry Christmas to all the members of this blog.

Then the good news that Australia has finally issued a stamp, read two stamps, with Errol thereon. Go to the Australia Post shop at www.stamps.com… to have a look and order them. I dont know about buying from overseas but if there is a problem let us know and we may be able to arrange something. We started to campaign about two years ago and at the death knoll they said no but have now added them to another set which we are happy about because which ever way you look at it the stamp has been issued. There was a sterling effort put into this especially by Phillip Flynn, yes he is related, and Rory who gave her blessing.

Whilst I'm here I have added a comment to the Errol Flynn reserve article by Tina and a couple of pics in the Young Errol album.
