Spring has sprung, the snowdrops and daffodils looked wonderful after the long hard winter and it is a real joy to watch the trees turning green.
Editing exercise.
Club members attempted to edit some footage supplied by Ken White. A difficult task but several members brought their efforts on March 1st. John Sawyer was judged the best entry for this rather demanding exercise. Well done everyone else who took up the challenge.

Chairman’s Remarks
It has been commented on recently how our films are much better than many produced by other film makers in the South West.
We are lucky to have talented film makers in our club and it is good that they freely give assistance and valuable help to those of us who are new to film making or have trouble trying to make our expensive software or computer work.
Please keep encouraging newcomers to our club. I can recall many past and present
members who have given me time and assistance in many aspects of filming. I even
had some free topsoil recently -
The evening was well attended and we thank Michael Clemens for giving us another successful show
April 19th -
Many thanks to Ken for his demonstration of this system, its advantages and pitfalls. It is interesting to see how these different systems work.
On February 15th we filmed Hobbies in our hall.
These pictures show John Sawyer making miniature furniture
and Helen Barry making paper Carnations

All we need now is the warmer weather so that we can all get out to film the transformation
