SUMMARY:British Panto in Wiesbaden
DESCRIPTION:Sleeping Beauty\nThe Story\nA magical tale of Fairies\, true love\, curses and spinning wheels! \nThe Princess Rose is about to celebrate her eighteenth birthday and the end of a long-standing curse put on her by the evil fairy Malicia. The future looks bright\, but the wicked fairy is not to be thwarted! \nCan Rose’s friends Nurse Nelly Nutmeg and court jester Jingling Jerry save her? Will she find true love with the dashing Prince Rhod? Can the good but somewhat scatter-brained fairy Forget-me-not remember how to aid the goodies? \nA traditional family pantomime packed with jokes\, silliness and oodles of audience participation! \n\n(If you are familiar with British Pantomime\, you can skip this section.) \nYou thought the holidays in Britain were all about snow and Charles Dickens? Then you are in for a big surprise – for the holidays wouldn’t be the holidays without a visit to a panto performance! \nA British panto is a traditional fairy tale – in our production\, Sleeping Beauty – complete with songs\, dances\, jokes and exaggerated characters and lots of audience participation. It’s a wonderful way to entertain children and there’s also plenty for the adults to enjoy as well. \nThe centerpiece of any panto is The Dame – a comic\, larger than life character played by a man. In our production\, our Dame is actually a woman playing a man who is playing a woman – Nelly Nutmeg. The male lead role\, the Principal Boy\, is always played by a woman. In our production\, this is Prince Rhod. \nAn important aspect of any British panto is plenty of audience participation. Join in with the characters as they sing the silly song and warn them of what’s behind them – like in a Kasperle-Theater! \n\nPickwicks will be attending the 3 p.m. afternoon performance on Sunday 25 January; for alternative show dates and times\, please visit the WPAC homepage. If you would like to join us for this event\, please purchase your own tickets online and arrange your own travel. Suggestions for public transport: \n\n13:54 Depart from Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof\, Platform 24 (RB 10 towards Neuwied)\n14:28 Arrive at Wiesbaden Hauptbahnhof\, Platfom 1\nTake any bus to Platz der Deutschen Einheit (Nos. 4\, 6\, 14\, 27\, 171\, 275)\nWalk to Hellmundstraße 33 (Google Maps) (6 minutes).\n\nIf you would like to come along\, please click the ‘Sign up’ button below!

SUMMARY:Special exhibition at the Film Museum
DESCRIPTION:As in previous years\, Pickwicks will visit the Film Museum’s current special exhibition: \nLong Takes. One Shots. No Cuts.\nThe exhibition explores the evolution of camera movement and tracking shots in film\, investigating various aspects of camerawork. It illustrates the progression from early attempts to ‘unleash the camera’ from its fixed tripod position to the development of increasingly sophisticated mechanical camera rigs and\, finally\, the latest computer-assisted shooting and editing techniques that make anything possible. The exhibition also showcases famous ‘long shots’ that skilfully avoid manipulating the audience’s attention through editing; instead\, they let the camera track the action or – more rarely – minimise it altogether\, allowing viewers to decide what to focus on. The pinnacle of the long shot is the ‘one shot’: a film that is shot (or at least pretends to be shot) in a single take without any editing\, which obviously requires extremely comprehensive and meticulous preparation. \nPickwicks has booked a guided tour of this fascinating exhibition in English. Afterwards\, if people are interested\, we can meet at the museum café or somewhere nearby for coffee\, cake\, or a snack. \nThe details\nMeeting point and time\n\nFilm Museum foyer\nSaturday 31 January 2026\n1:45 p.m.\n\nCost\n\nSpecial entrance fee – €7 (free for MuseumsUferCard holders)\nGuided tour – €7\n\nIf you are interested\, please click the ‘Sign up’ button below so that we know how many people to expect.

SUMMARY:Special Annual General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:As already announced\, this year’s Pickwicks AGM will be held on Wednesday 4 March\, at Nidda Restaurant. This is a legal requirement as long as Pickwicks is a non-registered organisation (Nicht eingetragener Verein). This will be the club’s last AGM (in its 50th year)\, after which we will continue as an informal group without statutes or membership fees.   \nWe will meet as usual from 7 p.m.\, and the meeting will start at 8 p.m. It is suggested that those wanting to have a meal there arrive a bit earlier\, at 6 or 6.30\, so that there will be no interruptions to the actual meeting. \nThe Committee looks forward to a good turnout. Anyone may attend\, but only paid-up members may vote on the points on the Agenda\, which will be made available at the meeting.  You can pay this year’s €5 subscription on the day\, if you haven’t already done so. \n  \nPublic transport: U7 / Bus M34 stop “Hausener Weg”\nParking: Brentanobad car park (€2) \n  \nTo give us an idea of the turnout to expect\, please use the ‘Sign Up’ button below.
