Change of Event for Thursday 5th September 2019

Thursday, 13 June 2019 10:52 Written by Leigh Woolford
Our first week back after the summer break will now be a Photo-Harmony evening when members can show sequences of photos to music.

We are therefore looking for people to present either 1 or 2 sequences. Sequences should be around 3-8 minutes long and the subject can be anything you wish. It just needs to be able to run on our Windows 8 laptop. Note, you don’t have to stand up and talk unless you wish to.

If you plan on bringing a sequence please email Leigh Woolford. To aid planning he’ll need to know how long the sequence is likely to last.

If time permits we also plan to include a demonstrations of our new simplified table-top studio set-up and an online demo of the Gwynfa website.We also plan to show you some of our recent outside battle entries.

NB. This will be in place of the ‘Great Gwynfa Retrospective’ which we are holding back until 2020 when we celebrate our 40th Anniversary.
