STROUD COMMUNITY TV  NEWSLETTER 30th March 2018

PHILIP STEPS DOWN: Following another hugely successful Awards evening Philip Booth has stepped down from his volunteer Director role at Stroud Community TV. Philip was one of the founder’s of SCTV back in 2012 and has actively involved many people in celebrating local films; organising film making workshops, managing our Twitter and Facebook, six Awards events and adding films to the site almost every day so that there are now over 3,000 local films on the website.

Philip says: “I have absolutely loved my involvement with this project; it has been a fantastic opportunity to learn more about Stroud and film making. I am stepping down due to personal health issues, but still will be involved with some film making. I love that this channel has made it easier to share and celebrate the many community events and projects that are happening in Stroud. What an amazing place to live.”
