December meeting
This is the 60 second Competition where the only rule is that any AV entered must be one minute or less. There is no limit to the number of AVs members can enter, but we hope that there will be at least one from everybody. Let’s see if we get any AI sequences! As it’s our last meeting before Christmas there will be mince pies and a festive raffle so we ask everybody to bring a small gift-wrapped present so that everybody wins.
A reminder that our Annual Competition is rapidly approaching, 17th January, so if members have finished their entries they can bring them to the December meeting. Otherwise they need to be sent to Malcolm or José by 31st December. You can download the entry form from the website. Click here.
November meeting
This was the ever-popular “You Are The Judge” evening. Malcolm sourced six of the award-winning AVs from the Jurassic Coast AV Salon, three Music Poetry and Song AVs, and three “Open” AVs, the Winner, Second and Third in each category. As usual there was a big variation of opinion from the members and our overall Winner the Winner of the Music Poetry and Song category by just one vote. We are very grateful to the various AV producers for the opportunity to see their work.
September meeting
Leicester Movie Makers were our guests and a good number of their members came to entertain us with a fabulous programme of films. This lively event has become a regular feature in our Programme, and next time we will be visiting them with a selection of our members’ AVs.
There’s a lot going on in the wider AV world. Competitions coming up include;
The BIG AV event of the year is the International AV Festival https://rps.org/groups/audio-visual/iavf/, a must for anybody with an interest in AV. It is being held online on Zoom on the evenings of 17th/18th/19th November, with a LIVE gala showing of the winners at Worcester University on Saturday 22nd November.
