New Chairman’s Message - May 2009
Sunday 17th May
I’m very enthusiastic about the club and its future development. I’ve been a member for four and a half years and on the Committee for about three. When I joined I’d only just started video editing and it has been this club and its members that have encouraged me and taught me to improve my films to a point where I’m now confident of entering some external competitions – let alone being proud to show holiday films to friends and family.
We have to recognise that our membership is split between those who film and wish to edit and make movies and those who just come along to watch them. But nevertheless, the club was formed for the former and I believe this should remain the main priority.
