AV News 189 - August 2012 I note Howard Gregory is mentioned in AV News and from speaking with him I'm aware how able a person he is. His discs are really good and if anybody does something on similar lines covering the visual side with digital technology this would be a great help. The AV Group have done well to become more open in general allowing non RPS members to join. However, unless those who have the ability can devise ways to help those in parts of the country who are unable to attend AV courses, the potential for greater success of the AV David Smalley Group will be lost. Postal Charges Howard Gregory There have been several increases in postal charges which I have absorbed. However I now find myself posting CDs etc at a loss. In future, p&p will be £1 on one CD and £2 on 2 or more CDs. Ask me about postal charges on preamps etc. I'm still managing to absorb increased component costs, so, for the time being, the price of CDs, preamps etc is unchanged. If anyone wants details of the tutorial CD-ROMs that I produce, a track by-track list of the sound effects CDs, or details of my mic preamps, then just drop me an e-mail to Howard. Old Friends Shirley Markham Greetings to those in the AV world who still remember me .... perhaps even surprised that I am still tottering around. Yes I am still a member of the AV Group and enjoy keeping in touch via the AV News, though I dont get to any events these days. My dear old friend the Royale desperately needs a loving home, he is too heavy for me to lift and sits sulking under my desk wanting out! He has two sets of lenses, two hand controls, a portable stand (all from Colin!!) is in excellent condition and has no time for all this digital nonsense his current owner is engrossed with. I am in the process of moving to a retirement village and must go without a lot of photographic equipment which I can no longer use. Is there anyone out there who will take my old friend the Royale off my hands please? All I ask is that you collect (Bath area) or pay transport costs and make a reasonable donation to a charity. Please ask around and contact me. Page 16
