AV News 193 - August 2013 There is a special prize for the best beginner's sequence, so this is an excellent opportunity to see both National/International standard AV, and what can be achieved by relative newcomers, all in one competition. Finishing time will depend on the number of entries. Whilst Saturday is about competition, Sunday is about learning. Starting at 10.00am we have ‘RPS NW AV Day’ - constructive comments and guidance on attenders' work by our three judges who will later each be talking about a particular aspect of AV, illustrated by some of their own work. We would encourage all to attend - it is an excellent and highly enjoyable way to learn. Tea, coffee etc are included throughout Saturday and Sunday. An extensive buffet lunch is available if pre-booked, or you can bring your own sandwiches. The usual information and bring and buy second hand equipment stands will be present (please put your name on items for sale!) You will be welcome on any day, or for the whole weekend. Information packs will be sent in the Autumn to previous attendees, and anyone else whom we think might be interested. Details of the weekend, other AV related activities and the WGAVG programme can be found on our website www.wilmslowguildav.org.uk. The Future of the Great Northern?
