Yes Dominique I also will attend this event in Harpenden (it will be my first time there having only done Pimlico) - I will drive there (2.5 hours) and hope to buy some 9.5mm films for my collection!
Great that you are supporting this UK event and I look forward to meeting you there. We are so fortunate to still have film fairs to visit.

I will be there as usual. I have only missed about 4 since Group 9.5 was started. Look out for me and say "Hello". Perhaps I should wear a name tag!! Ken Finch. [Smile]

I am the only one to show a picture and will probably be the only one who will speak English (or try to) with an accent, so I think it would be easier if members of this forum could come to me ;-)

Yes, Maurice and we will have to wait for 2015 for the next BFCC to meet again except if you come to the 9,5 meeting.

I've just bought my hostel nights. Will be nice to meet the British ninefivers. I attended once (some years ago) a projection night organised by the Group 9,5 and it was nice.

I want to start with a big thanks to all those who said hello to me mentioning the forum ! (maybe we should have taken a group picture...) I attended this event for the first time, I hope I will be able to make it again. There were more dealers and fims/materials I expected, though not so much in 9,5 (comparing with Super 8 and 16 mm material). I came back home with two sound features (I won one of them at the auction where, hearing the exclamations from the audience I felt I was rebuilding Britain's economy ; maybe the price I paid seemed high for the persons who were there but comparing with what I wouyld have paid on the continent or even to an UK dealer or on UK EBay with the postage costs, I still made a bargain, so at the end, everybody is happy). There was a 9,5 sound films show I appreciated and also a demonstration of a 17,5 mm projector (converted from a 16mm Siemens). That projector did attract attention. Sadly the film competition had been cancelled and replaced by a digital projection (I didn't attend as I think that it has nothing to do in the film world). For the small story : there was a British breakfast served all the day, I put photocopies of the 9,5 black and white Survey and among them was my return coach ticket for Belgium (but I was Lucky to be able to board on the bus as I had the reference number on another paper), and, last thing, my unlogical continental mind has still progress to do to match with the train company's logic.

Good to see you Dom and hope you found something of interest to take home.
They had sold out all the traders tables long before the big day and still had people turning up wanting to book in for tables on the day. I was pleased to buy a collection of 8mm Barry Wiles films which will be treasured here so all in all rather a splendid day. I wonder who purchased Gone With The Wind? [Smile]

Hi Leee ;-) With the two already mentionned sound features, I got a short 9,5 sound film and three silent ones. I also bought camera spools.

Nice to see you there Dominique, sorry I did'nt introduce myself at the time. Also nice to see Lee and Mark there. A good day all round which went far too quick. Must try to 'black out' the windows better next year, this is always the problem with the film show at 1pm in the afternoon. The halls blinds are not really good enough.

I had a nice time at the 9.5 do, bought a few bits and saw a few familiar faces plus a few new ones, I thought the turn out was good and the dealers did quite well, looking forward to the next one, , Mark.
