Moods of shade and shadow


A THEMED competition for slides was judged by members of Ribblesdale Cam­ era Club. Each entry comprised a panel of four


images on the theme “Shade and Shad­ ow”, or an alternative theme of the entrant’s choice. The winner, gaining the highest total from the whole club over the four slides, was club chairman John Bradley, with 1,085 marks. Ken Geddes finished in second place, with 1,013 points. As the number of entries was fair­ ly low, both John and Ken entered a sec­ ond panel of four for marking, but not counting towards the competition. Both of these in fact scored above Eleanor Friend’s third place, but amusingly Ken’s non-competition panel was given 1,040, better than his competition selection! Next week’s meeting will be to judge a


panel or montage of prints on a single stated theme. The club meets at West Bradford Village Hall on Tuesdays at 7- 30 p.m. More information can be obtained from John Bradley on 01254 822921 or Ken Geddes on 01200 423474.


FINAL rehearsals were under way this week for the eagerly- awaited annual pantomime from Ribchester Amateur Theatrical Society (RATS). This year,s show has been special­


ly written by the society’s own musi­ cal director, Ghris Freeman, and is a little different from the usual type. Ghris has penned “The Sorcerer's


Apprentice”, in which the appren­ tice causes mayhem and chaos while injudiciously wielding his master’s magic wand. A little knowledge is a dangerous


thing, they say, and i t certainly seems so when apprentice Aaron goes power mad and changes people into, well... let’s not give too much away! Suffice to say that this is not a panto with just the one dame! All the traditional goodies and


baddies are represented in the fight and triumph of good over evil, so from that point of view it will be the usual treat for children of all ages, with lots of opportunity for audi­ ence participation. Ghris will be tinkling the ivories

MEMBERS of Ribble Valley Camcorder Club enjoyed an action-packed 2006. A representative from Crewe


firm ‘Trackline” gave a talk on copyright free music and said it had a library of 80 CD RMS con­ taining eight tracks of muisc which, once purchased by the club, could accompany any videos by members. Trackline has also created two


further CDs which help search for the most appropriate piece of music and then ad ju s t track length to match that of the film to


create a phased ending. The club has now purchased a comprehen­ sive library for use by members. All members judged all the


films produced throughout the year. The best five in each class were then shortlisted for two new annual awards. Judging for top place was


undertaken by members of Burn­ ley Camcorder Group before the annual show. Held at St Michael and St


John’s Parish Hall, it was attend­ ed by more than 100 members and guests.


The award for best film


over three minutes was presented to Doug Brownrigg for “Pedal Power”, which had been created by Doug, Richard Dugdale and Philip Bai­ ley. And the award for best under three minute film was won by John Whipp for “Man’s Best Friend”, about a dog which was overseeing the building of a polytunnel. In total 38 films were


shown varying in length between one and seven minutes. Ribble Valley Cam­


corder Club is thriving having enjoyed increased membership during the year. There is an ethos of helping each other with problems and providing regular training sessions to produce a wide range of quality films.
