STROUD COMMUNITY TV  NEWSLETTER 26th Jan 2017

COME TO OUR AWARDS EVENING:

Members of the public have nominated their best films in various categories and those films have now gone to our team of experienced local judges. We will announce the results at our Awards Night on Saturday 18th March at Lansdown Hall (doors open 7pm, starts 7.30, free entry). We are hoping many of you newsletter readers will join us. During the Night we will show the winning films plus other great local films and have a chance to meet some film makers. Special guests include the media team from Slimbridge WWT. Our film night will again be part of the hugely successful Stroud Film Festival.

For our Audience Award this year we plan to vote on nominations for the best film on Stroud Community TV over the last 5 years; during the evening the audience will get a chance to vote on their favorite from the three films that have had the most votes in past years.

CAN YOU HELP? We would love help setting up tables and chairs on the evening at Lansdown Hall and welcoming guests on the Awards evening. If you think you might be able to come earlier and help please email us at: philip@stroudcommunity.tv
