The Club WANTED list:

_____________________

We are keen to make a club film but need a film script.

Does anybody know of anyone who can write a good story,

bearing in mind the fewer locations the better and not too many

characters. The film to be approximately 20 minutes.

Due to lack of entries, the Holiday Competition was postponed and now will

be held after the AGM on 5th May.

Many thanks to Peter Thurlow who gave a very interesting talk

on his experiences working with Thames TV and Sky.

At last night's club meeting, he demonstrated how different it was working in the studios

back in the 1970's as compared to the present digital age.

By his own admission there wasn't enough time to cover every aspect of studio life

so perhaps we can persuade him to do another presentation later on in the year.

Good news regarding the Netball that club members filmed last year.

Lara Venter who requested the help of the club to produce a Training Video

for Netball Umpires was very pleased with the result and ordered 10 copies

for her organisation.

Our Chairman Rob Hatch has entered the film in 4 competitions around the country
