Howard Smith
On the 22nd November, we had another visit from prolific film maker, and multi award winner, Howard Smith. Howard's passion for film making and boundless enthusiasm always comes across when he talks about his films and techniques, and this visit to the club was no exception! The list of films he has in the pipe line is incredible, and there should be ample new material for his next visit! A thoroughly entertaining evening.

On 17th October, the club paid a visit to Burnley Film Makers to present evening of club films. We were represented on the night by Frank Swift, who presented the compilation (thanks to Frank Parker for putting this together). The films went down very well, as did the supper Frank enjoyed during the evening! Val Ellis
Val Ellis, a long time member of Cheadle and Gatley Film Makers, passed away on 3rd January 2018. Val was a tremendous asset to the club, and her huge knowledge of the amateur film-making world was invaluable in her recent role as Programme Secretary. Val was a leading light in the IAC, and had held the position of President, Chairman, Council Member and Librarian at various times in the past. She was also deeply involved in BIAFF, both as an organiser and a judge. The club is planning a tribute evening featuring some of Val's most memorable films on 10th January 2019, to mark the first anniversary of her passing. |

Holiday Competition
There were 8 entries in this years' Holiday Competition which was held on 8th November. Club Members judged the entries on the night, and the winning film was Phil Guy's entry, "My Dream Holiday". This documented Phil's trip to Scotland to see the work being done to re-established the Red Kite to it's rightful place in our countryside. There were some magnificent slow motion shots of the birds, and the film was a worthy winner. Congratulations to Phil
