What's been happing!

This week we saw a fine selection of AV showreels, the Idea was to illustrate a song, for me the sequence that best was Davey's "Tip Toe through the Tulips which was well done and very humorous, also well worth a mention was Brigett's which had some wonderful Scottish landscapes, Normans "Sailing"(shame about Rod!) was fun and Peter's Newcastle then and now was also a nice trip down memory lane.

Well our recent outing at the South Tyne projected image competition was a bit of a let down (poor judging!), any way this panel show's our very worthy set of six Images.
