The club has about ten regular paid-up members, and many other occasional attenders at meetings (June 2010), including students from the (local) University of Bedfordshire.
There is a committee who organise activities and run the group.
We hope to grow the membership to a viable club of about 15 or more active members.

Most of Paul's films have been targeted at the Internet and employ
streaming video at 160 by 120 pixels, a tiny picture.
Recent developments in Broadband have allowed him to make his

web site at 320 by 240 pixels and 15 frames/second and which
are viewable in full-screen.
He is a relative beginner at mini DV quality work.

computers and wireless technology.
He has built up a library of digital video of local interest,

in quality. |
