Autumn 2018

I hope everyone enjoyed the heatwave this summer, too hot for some and certainly not good for all our gardens but the lawns and plants are very resilient and things returned to normal quite quickly.

We have had several competitions to date and congratulations are due to those who won (see Winners tab) but also to the others who didn’t win but took time to make and submit films.

In June we had a practical session on filming with a drone.

Eighteen members came to this practical evening at The Red Lion, Wainlodes.

If you have any archive film of Gloucester or Gloucestershire we would be glad of it for future public shows

Members were encouraged to bring their camcorders to make a film about it to be entered in a competition following the AGM in November.

It was an interesting evening, many questions were asked and answered by the drone owners.

Scanner

The Club has recently purchased an 8mm film scanner to help copy archive films for our own Archive Shows as well as for Roadshows where old scenes of Gloucester are often requested.

Roadshows

We already given 10 roadshows to various groups of people and have 4 more to do this year with 4  already booked for next year.

This is a good source of income and is the reason that our subs are so low.

If you know of a group that would like a film show then please let John Greene know.

Looking ahead

We have Bungee Jumping in Gloucester.

November 11th Remembrance Day

and the Christmas Lights Parade to the Cathedral.

Christmas Meal 2018

Our meal will be at The House in the Tree at Staverton. Please ensure Clare Robinson has your booking and deposit.
