RPS AV Group (Ireland) Next Workshop Day: Saturday 6 September 2008 Venue: Railway Street Presbyterian Church Hall, Lisburn 10.00am – 4.30pm Programme: Basic Sound Workshop At our last workshop some members suggested we organise among ourselves a very practical hands-on workshop concentrating on all aspects of basic sound: equipment, software and how actually to do it (Audacity etc.) voice recording, creating the right environment for recording, recording sounds 'on location', sound effects, adding music, producing the final CD -- whatever help any one of us needs to get going and to improve quality -- all with the purpose of knowing the BASICS in preparation for the visit of Howard Gregory and Suzanne Walker in November. PLEASE ALSO NOTE THE DATE(S): SATURDAY 1 NOVEMBER 2008 Would any of your Clubs like to use their services on the evening of Friday 31 October? And there's a possibility of their giving an additional session on Sunday 2nd, but I'll be tidying up the overall arrangements in good time to let everyone know by 6th September. SUMMER PROJECT: We've had several very good short AVs generated through our summer projects, e.g. Reflections and Dereliction. So here's our theme: A '321' (3 minutes 21 seconds) sequence on 'Once Upon a Time.....' RESULTS TO BE PROJECTED AS THE FIRST POST-LUNCH ITEM ON SATURDAY 6 SEPTEMBER.

Drive to town centre, through traffic lights and a roundabout. At roundabout do not go up the hill but swing right and then first left (tall building – new Library will be on your right) Continue to T-junction (at KwikFit and garages). Turn right and follow one-way system (passing Jessops on your right) and take next right at traffic lights. Continue till you see the Railway Station on your left. You swing right into Railway Street and the church is on the right. Take the next right, just past the church, and you may be able to park in the church car part (again on the right). More likely you will have to drive on a short distance to another T-junction. Turn right and use the multi-storey car park on the left. From South: at new Sprucefield roundabout system follow signs to ‘Lisburn’ and continue to town centre, past hospital on right, till you see the above mentioned KwikFit and garages on your left and continue as above. From North: continue as directly as you can to town centre, keeping straight on at first main roundabout (Tesco’s is away off to the right) and you will join the one-way system which will swing you left, passing Railway Station as above.

The Top Print and Slide Competition will be held on Tuesday 27th May 2008, at Belfast Royal Academy Note this new date. Paul Seawright had a previous commitment for the old date.

As well as judging, Paul Seawright will also give a presentation at this event. To say the least, it is quite a coup to have Paul Seawright for our Top Print and Slide event. A Google search returns over 3,000 entries, and Paul even has his own entry in Wikipedia, which makes fascinating reading. Thanks to our President for persuading Paul to judge and talk.

PLEASE ENSURE A GOOD ATTENDANCE FROM CLUB MEMBERS

All starred Prints and Slides must be with Brian Mc Kenna or Peter Wilkin before Wednesday 7th May. Please check that all your starred entries are available. If you are not sure contact Brian or Peter (contact details in NIPA Directory). A reminder that smaller starred prints may be resubmitted (if identical) as 20x16.

Entries are also required by 7th May for selection to represent NIPA at the PAGB Inter-Federation Print Competition. 20 x 16 prints should also be sent to Brian McKenna or Peter Wilkin. Please urge your club members to ensure that we have a good choice of prints from which to select.

The next Council meeting will be hosted by ENNISKILLEN on THURSDAY 29th MAY. Note the change of date and venue. A map to the venue will follow later. In order to assist catering, Enniskillen have asked for an idea of numbers likely to attend.
