Last week was our AGM

It was fitting that the most unusual year in the club's history featured it's first virtual AGM. We started with the reports from the committee members, which can all be read here. I must say it was quite a shock to review the year and think about how much had changed in a short while.

Then it was on to the election of the committee, the new committee was elected unanimously en bloc and you can see who they are here.

Paul then showed us the completed promotional video for H2:

H2 Promotional Video

He really has done an excellent job. All we need to do now is work out how to target people on Facebook and Instagram

After the break heather took us through her AV work. She showed what is involved in creating an Audio Visual presentation and it looks like a great way to use up all those images you have sitting on your hard drive.

If you are interested in trying it, the software heater used was Pictures to exe (or PTE) - which you can download from here.
