; A GLIMPSE into the world of audio-visual . presentations was a diverse treat for menibers of Ribblesdale Camera Club. 1 : It was provided by award-winning photogra-


; pher, Mr Colin Balls; of Wrightington; whose • presentation “The Royale Digital AV Show’’ was the highlight of the club’s latest meeting.' tv


f • L ^ t year Mr Balls won the Grand Prix at the.’ : Royal Photographic Society’s 16th Intematiori-' al Audio Visual Festival.^'


’


:: ;He started to use AVwhen he w ^ a design-, enginrer at British Leyland and took six months to design his first double projector to allow fad- ing of one colour slide into the next and play .:


synchronised sound to .accompany the images.


. : Re set up his own company in 1982, eventual- ■' ly selling around 800.units at £3,000 each. His , show-used his new Digital .Royale projector,


- with its own computer and built-in high-quahty


sound system. Mr Ball showed a promotional film for the


V British Commercial Vehicle Museum at Ley-


;; land, together with the kory of its production in • quite stunning quality colour and sound. .


^ v He then went on to the museum’s work of res­ cuing archives and especially old photographs, taking them a stage further by adding carefully- researched colours. Several of these reconstruc­


tions had made the dust cover of books. There


■ were some fascinating details, including a pic- • . ture of a 1937 Leigh tram showing an advertise^


• ment for first and second mortgages. His second p r^ n ta t io n was a nature film set -


to the Prayerpf St Patrick. ... - Finally, he talked about the history of AV ■ showing single,..double and triple magic '


• lanterns and the “Portable Pamphengos”, the • first successful AV projector dating from 1^9. '

Secure council’s future - Tories


RIBBLE Valley Conserva­


tives are being asked to sup­ port proposals which would secure the future of the bor-


- ough council. The plans being put forward


: by the National Conservative Party are aimed at protecting


- . the county’s three tier’Local ■ V Government system. Coun. Ken Hind, Chairman


. .■ of the Conservative Associa- : tion and Longridge councillor,


- said; “A policy statement on ‘Localism’.issued by Conserv­ ative headquarters is calling iiT o r consultation among Con-


^ f ^ ^ S v e members, intending ■i&ifitd fonn the basis of the poli­ cies of a future Conservative


: Government and Conservative controlled local councils. “It is designed to free local government from central gov-


r' emment control and give local ■.7-'cbmmunities more say and increased accountability in


; decision making. I t will pro- ; tect the three tier system of


local government in Lan­ cashire - county, borough and parish and town level.” He added: “The constant fear that a future government


-will amalgamate the Ribble Valley with Blackburn, Bum- ■ ley, Pendle or Preston, to pro­ duce a super sized metropoli­ tan authority will be removed. The views of residents in smaller rural authorities will not be dominated by the inter­ ests of big towns. “Gordon Brown’s target-


driven, top-down govemmeni has hindered strong local economies and discouraged civic pride. “We support measures


which restore many of the lost powers to local authorities, increase public accountability and bring councillors and their constituents closer to the levers of power. These policies will start to restore the trust that has been lost in our politi­ cal system since 1997.”
