I see it's this weekend coming, I wondered if anyone is going. I went last year for the first time and was really impressed by the event, it was small but really friendly with loads of film bargains to be had.

If I could possibly make it I would be there. But it's an awful long way.

John
I'm afraid I couldn't get a days pass for another Saturday out this month, having already negotiated a day at the BFCC (which incidently happens to be on the weekend the in-laws are staying ) and another for a toy and model railway fair the Saturday prior. I got the old "you go if you want to" line which has a cleverly hidden sub text of "you'll pay for it if you do", so I chose not to...
That said, I want to hear how it went. Mark, did you manage to get there?

Mike , it was a nice relaxed day out and as usual allways a good bargain to be had at Tadley. Came away with a minty Kawa 8Z scope lense in its box for £75, Nice Professional quality Draper frame screen for £50, plus plenty of good quality second hand films which have all turned out to be tip top, only one cheapo 200ft had a bit of fade. In the theatre an excellent Super 8 Scope Show, with many of the new releases, and on an 18ft Scope Screen! The highlight for me was a long extract from the Star Wars feature (witch had been re-recorded?) with realy top notch sound.

I managed to make Tadley and it was a really great day out,actually managed to catch most of the shows this time around too,the Super 8 scope show was superb and featured T2-THE CHASE and END OF DAYS along with Dave Locke's excellent re-recorded stereo print of STAR WARS.
The films were as cheap as chips too and I picked up a couple of Elvis 400fts for a fiver a pop!!
Congrats to Geoff Wheeler,Dave Locke and co for a great day out!!

Mark, Might be tempted to buy 'End of Days' so I wondered how the print compared to the other items on that big screen? And does it make any sense if you haven't seen the feature?
