AV News 182 - November 2010 Richard then brought out his toys! That's right he brought along with him a Childs toy projector, it was in good condition to say it was made in 1961, it's called the 'Give A Show projector' - you may have read about it in the August AV News! (Page 12). But what I liked about it was the fact Richard was trying to demonstrate to us that with the use of just five slides a simple story was told. This illustrated to me that it really is possible to keep a script simple and to the point, after his lecture I began to think 'yes I can do this.' The School was held in the B&B we were staying at - so no excuse for being late for school! There is a load more I could say, it was a brilliant four days, the lectures, company and food and wine was second to none!!! Whether you're a beginner or have been putting AVs together for some time, you would defiantly benefit from attending, I don't know if the school is planned for next year but if it is I would certainly recommend it! Kathu Photographic Club Jeff Morris LRPS APSSA The iron-ore mining town of Kathu is situated in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa, 800km from Cape Town, 550km from Johannesburg and another 800km from Durban. For perspective, London to Edinburgh is 500km and there are no high-speed trains!. The small but dedicated, gifted and enthusiastic band of photographers rely on their own resources except for occasional visits by passing photographers, whom they eagerly welcome. I enjoyed five-star treatment with all-inclusive accommodation and delicious meals when I paid a visit to jump-start the club into the world of AV. Page 11
