IAC DISCUSSION FORUMS

The three main UK festivals which welcome amateur entries (BIAFF, Cotswold and Guernsey) have now all released their results. [/b] [/i] Three different judging systems I think it was Dave's intention to talk about the results of the British filmfestivals. I think it's good to compare the results of...

Welcome back, Willy. I guess that your computer is now fully back in action. Dave Yes, Dave, my son-in-law said that my old computer worked for only a few minutes and he could save my addresses. I've got them back in my new computer. Outlook Express, however is still gone. In my new computer, howev...

The three main UK festivals which welcome amateur entries (BIAFF, Cotswold and Guernsey) have now all released their results. So what do you all think? Were the judges pretty much right or not? Dave [/i] The Yellow Jersey I only took part in BIAFF and the Lily, not in the Cotswolds festival. Reason...

[quote="Mike Shaw"]Willy, all is not (may not) be lost.

I'm extremely happy with your message, Mike. The day after tomorrow my son-in-law will visit us and then I can show him your message. To be honest, I always feel helpless when I have problems with my computer.
Many thanks again.

Crash !!! In the last three weeks I crashed with my Medion Computer four times. It was only four years old. Each time I could not switch it on anymore and I called the 'computer doctor'. He called himself like that in a newspaper advertisement. After these visits I had paid him 300 euros which is a...

St. Martin's I checked the names of the islands on internet. Of course it was not St. Margaret's, but St. Martins. We just had a walk on that narrow island. I remember I filmed some flowers in hedges. It was a glorious day. The sun was shining. The sky was blue. When we came back home in Belgium, o...

Hi Thanks for the replies - they help a lot. Regards, Roger Banfield Hello Roger, Benq burner I have a Benq burner and up to now I have not had any problems. The Isles of Scilly I have seen that you live on the Isles of Scilly. Where do you live exactly ? About 12 years ago I was there. My wife and...

Unbelievable ! In fact it's unbelievable. Maybe you know that I am also a member of a second club. I'm just a member there. Not the president or secretary ... Last week the president of Videoclub Deurne, as it is called, received a letter telling him that he had to leave his clubhouse. It was on th...

(Sorry I go on. I pressed the wrong button)

but more and more n-c filmmakers and photogrpahers are ignored. The photographs in our national magazine are impressive ? I was surprised that an article appeared about BIAFF 2008.

The news that AMPS now distribute electronically their newsletter was forecast and I understand the necessity for this but PLEASE don't send the IAC magazine down the same track, I know things are different today and people sem to think that computer screens can fulfill every function imaginable bu...

Personally I remain convinced that there will always be a place for well run video clubs and groups. Human beings are just not designed to work in isolation in their own little silos and in whatever walk of life any activity is much more enjoyable when shared with other people. Most amateur music b...

It sounds as if the Council might be trying to price local clubs and societies out of their premises so that the Council will then have rooms available that they can rent out to commercial organisations at much higher fees. Too expensive Maybe you are right. I also think that they want to rent out ...

I would take up their offer Stingman I have heard that some British clubs face with similar problems. Therefore I just want to tell you what happened last week. Strangled ! There was a council meeting on 24th June. The local authorities took the decision to impose very high tenancies for all cultur...

Orpington Club are celebrating their 40th anniversary by going en masse to the Guernsey Lily Festival this year. Some of them are already outward looking people but for others it may be a happy surprise. It is hard to explain quite why making a change from the same friendly faces and routines can b...

We did debate putting the Newsletter on the website but that means anyone can read it without joining/paying or we have to create a "members only" access which we do not want to do. ned c I understand Yes, that's what I also thought when receiving the AMPS Newsletter on my email address. ...
