Dates
Saturday 19th July / Dereham Station
Theme: Now you see me, now you die!
Internationally famous Secret Agent James Bond has been instructed to investigate the disappearance of brilliant, yet reclusive Australian scientist, Professor Stanley Griffin. The Professor has allegedly been working for the British Government on a new device that can make an entire train disappear, but he has vanished - along with most of his valuable research papers. His acerbic assistant, Celia Wright-Thruwme, claims to be the real brains behind the machine, but is clearly hiding more than the eye can see.
Unhinged Australian agent Spike 'Digger' Duggan claims to have been sent to assist 007, but so too does 'P', a bumbling agent, more used to field-testing new tech. Can either of these two oddballs really be trusted? Add to this, an undercover journalist trying to reveal reckless government experiments on innocent commuters and a Russian spy-handler trying to contact a missing agent, and murder seems inevitable!
Which secrets will be fatally exposed and which will remain hidden, in: 'Now You See Me, Now You Die'
'Bond-themed' dress encouraged but certainly not compulsory.

Saturday 6th September / Dereham Station
