7. Future Programme

Possible activities for 2008/9 were discussed.

Current Activities were reviewed. It was decided to continue all.

1. Paul Clarke agreed to continue running the film library/archive and to maintain listings on the website. He explained that items are only released with the originator’s permission.
2. It was agreed that, as originally intended, the Casablanca Club filming should be kept to short films that could be completed in an evening and everyone should be given a chance to bring scripts, have a go and learn from their mistakes. It was noted that we would still need longer filming sessions for making club films for competitions.

Proposed New Activities were discussed.

1. From the last AGM, Club Premises - This was needed for storage and permanent setup of facilities such as blue screen or green screen. It was requested that enquiries should be made about storage space at the Hat Factory. We should also pursue obtaining permanent club premises.
2. The Daytime Meetings with emphasis on beginner / introductory "help" in movie making had been held but there was a poor response from those who had requested it, so it had terminated.
3. Frank McPartland proposed we work closely with the little Theatre in Dunstable. There was no general conclusion about this.
4. There was a request to put on shows at the University. It was explained that we had done this in the past, but there was a poor response.
8. Any Other Business

There was no other business.
