This year we were very pleased to have 9 films submitted for our Club Annual Competition, and particularly as we had a new winner, as well as entries from two members who had not before been involved.
The winning film was chosen by ‘the audience’ as being the most entertaining and was the one created by Carol Thebault. This showed her enchanting shots of Juvenile Penguins, which she had very cleverly cut to music, and Carol was delighted when she was presented with her certificate and the Tony Brown Trophy.
The video voted into second place was ‘Flying Trip to New Zealand’, entered by Roy Le Plongeon - on his first attempt at the competition. Roy achieved excellent results in creating an interesting, snappy film from his holiday footage. Third placed was Derek De Gruchy, who had re-edited his film Malvern Here We Come into a shorter version for the competition.
The other entrants were:- Charlie Blampied with Looking Back to 2006, Annette Lowe with Like a Fishwife, Alan Michel with Babbacombe Model Village, Avril Rolls with Christmas Markets Rhine Cruise, Laurie Stewart with Jersey Air Display, and finally John Williams with Up the Sani Pass.

The other entrants were:-
judged Way Down Under as the Most Artistic Film, and Like A Fishwife as the Best Other Film.
Keith Tostevin - who is also Chairman of the Camcorder Club of Guernsey - himself had won the Best Documentary, although the Best Film Overall this year went to an entry submitted by a student from Guernsey Grammar School.
Annette travelled to Guernsey to attend the Presentation and receive her fine trophies. While viewing the Exhibition, she was particularly interested in the Guernsey Club equipment which Keith was using to show the films as it was a self contained DVD player and projector, which had integral speakers, and was thus extremely easy to transport and set up at different venues.
This was the second visit Annette had made to our neighbouring island during the winter months, as she also had attended the Guernsey Lily Film Festival, and been as impressed as ever with the excellent films shown. This year the award for the Best Channel Island entry was made to a young Guernsey man Matt Thomas, for Zombie Enigma.
But as well as being an opportunity to see first class amateur films, the Festival is also a gathering of many friendly faces from the video making world. Included this year were Rod and Liz Willerton from Haywards Heath, who frequently visit our club, and they had arranged a surprise for Annette. This was an extra presentation made at the end of the evening, of a silver cup from the Sussex Film Festival, as Annette’s film Pushkar had been awarded the trophy for Best Travelogue at that event.
