A good session!

Just a quick post to thank you for a great session last night. It's been a while since we've had a session where we've got so much done and that is v encouraging.

With regard to the CRASAC dvd, we have a film date of July 28th. I need confirmation ASAP that you can attend wherever the shoot might be (it'll be local, just don't have a precise location yet) on the 28th.

Please phone or comment to let me know. Thanks, Rich

Film Call for Actors!

Blue Ocean Pictures will over the next few months be filming a Sci-Fi film for the film festival circuit called "CANOPUS 279" Yours truly is playing a Geological Officer on his first deep space mission.

I have no script details as yet - its being finalised - but I have been asked to sound you folks out about taking parts as the "aliens" on the planet we're surveying. Please comment or let me know if you're up for it. Cool special effects and a smoke machine are among the attractions - not to mention me in a "space suit" - something you will only see once in your lifetimes!

We will be continuing meets at the Church Hall for a while. All of our equipment has now been taken out of the Youth Space for safe storage following the loss of our IMAC. We will have to think quite carefully about where we want to base ourselves in the future.

Theft from the Youth Space

I regret to announce that our IMAC PC was stolen from the youth space sometime between this week and our last session. Fortunately our cameras were with me for recharging and so that was all that was taken as far as I can tell.

Obviously, the MAC held quite a collection of images and film from our work going back nearly a year now. You will have been using each other's first names and so there is a very slight risk of this information falling into the wrong hands.

PLEASE be extra aware of anyone approaching you who claims to have seen you or know about you through KYSPA. If ANY images show up in youtube, myspace, facebook or beebo that you think come from our PC, please notify me immediately.

NO personal details AT ALL were stored on the Mac so from a data protection point of view this is a relatively minor problem but please do be alert.

The theft has been reported to the police and our insurance company.
