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. Please read more...

Jeremy Holder - Chairman


A New Chairman and Other Committee Changes

Friday 8th May

At our AGM on 8 May, Ken Ferguson stepped down as Chairman and Jeremy Holder took over. Ken remains Vice President with Dennis Vaulkhard our President.

Colin Hignett stepped down as Deputy Chairman and Secretary. The new Deputy Chairman is Tim Stannard and the new Secretary, Tony Valvona, who also remains Treasurer. Barrie Wright stepped down from the Committee.

On behalf of the Society the new Committee would like to take this opportunity to thank the retiring committee members for their years of valuable services to the Society. The current healthy state of the society is a fine tribute to the work they have done on our behalf. We should also like to express our gratitude to those members of the Committee who have offered to continue to serve next year.
