Annual General Meeting followed by The Friendship Trophy Competition
We endeavour to make our AGMs short and sweet, which leaves plenty of time to enjoy more AVs.
Following the AGM we are holding this year's Friendship Trophy so please bring your entries along on the night.
For this competition, members are invited to enter as many AVs as they wish one an open topic. The idea of this competition is that each sequence should last no more than five minutes and should use one piece of commercially available piece of recorded music.
