Reading Film and Video Makers

FREESCREEN ANNOUNCEMENT

Freescreen used to broadcast news about local clubs and charities in the southern counties and show locally produced amateur films and videos.

A number of RFVM members [Jane Smart, Bernard Bareham, Bruce Dawes and Laurie Joyce amongst them] were very happy to take advantage of this. Freescreen also paid around £80 a go for each video broadcast. A nice little earner and also nice to say your work had been shown on TV even it is at 5am!!

Sadly Freescreen have just announced that due to structural changes they will no longer exist. So if you had been thinking about having a go, I am sorry you have left it too late!

Man's best friend

Some members may have spotted the article in the Daily Telegraph on 12th July about our fellow member Mike Holman. For those whom missed it, you will be intrigued to learn that flowing Mike trusty dog attention to a small mark on Mike's leg. Mike had it checked out. It proved to be cancerous but fortunately it was caught in time and Mike is now fine. Due to Mike's dog detective work, research is now underway to see if dogs can be trained to sniff cancer notably prostate cancer.

Unfortunately Mike was recently involved in a traffic accident [not his fault] which has left him with a damaged hip. We wish him a speedy recovery and look forward to seeing him again at our club nights
