Guest Speaker - Graham Reed. We are extremely lucky to have Graham Reed as our guest speaker and add this evening to our programme.

He has worked on every type of TV programme in studios and on location. We very much look forward to hearing what he has to say. |

Jan 2 |
One Minute Film - Team Planning. Part of this evening will be for members to arrange themselves in teams and plan how they are going to make a one minute film during the next meeting. The rest of the evening will be social for members to drink and chat with each other. |
Jan 16 |
One Minute Film Making. Tonight the teams that were decided at the last meeting will make their one-minute films. |
Jan 30 |
Members Film Making Gadgets. All members are asked to bring along their gadgets that can be of help in film making and talk about them for a few minutes. Time will also be made available for those groups that did not complete the filming of their one minute films at the last meeting, to do so tonight, whilst the rest of us can be social in the bar. |
Feb 6 |
Critiquing Films. Although some members are glad to have their films critiqued by other members, so that they can make better films in the future, some members are not. Tonight those members who are, are invited to bring along any film (or part of a film) they have made and have it critiqued by other members. The committee feel strongly that the more opportunities there are for analysing members films and discussing both the good and the bad points, the better film makers we will become. |
Feb 20 |
Ideas for Our Next Club Film. Both Roger Brenton and Ian Marriott will be discussing scripts they have written for the next club film. These and other members' ideas for our next film will be discussed in an effort to determine the film we are actually going to make. The rest of the evening will be social. |

‘English – How Hard Can It Be?’. Ian Marriott will be directing this re-shoot of the amusing film idea he came up with last year. All members are invited to take part and it would be helpful if some of you could bring along your wives and/or friends to act as ‘extras’. Also, members are reminded that this year's '10 to 4' original clips will be available for editing through this summer. So bring along a USB stick, or your laptop. |

Please bring along your cameras and suitable props and have another go at making an animated epic. How creative can YOU be? Feel free to film with a partner if you like! Just make sure that you get things organised before you turn up. |
Jul 17 |
Social. We have decided to have a relaxed "Get-together" at the White Swan Pub at Mansbridge. Turn up around 7.30 for drinking and chatting in this attractive, riverside location. A chance to talk about all of those "technical" things you want to but never get around to with club members. Not sure exactly where we will be, if fine probably out on the terrace by the water, if wet, in one of the bars. |
