Why is the next BFCC being held in March, which is usually a cold and wet month in the UK? I much prefer the traditional month of May, when the English weather is so much nicer.

Because the british are mad.

Problem is, Northern Europe in general is rubbish when it comes to spring climate [Wink]

FAO John Clancy.

Hi John,

Could you please either find out, or else advise me directly, regarding the offer made by Dave Whistler, mentioned in my post on the last BFCC, as to whether it would be a good addition to the procedings?

If you remember, he offered to bring and show some original Edwards Air Force Base missions footage - all in 16mm.

Clearly it would be helpful if we could give Dave plenty of notice, and also ensure that it was included in the website and programme.

It was from Dave that I acquired the Ampros recently. [Big Grin]

Cheers for now,

--------------------
Dave.

Ciao.

David, if the BFCC continues past March 20th 2010 then there's always the possibility of asking Keith if he fancies doing something different. Currently we're having to look at the 59th BFCC as being the last one so we'll have to make it some sort of celebration similar to the 50th.

Personally I'd be very interested to see these films so it will be interesting to hear if others would too.

Hey Osi, here's an idea. Bring along a nice full length 8mm feature I want and I'll meet you there and buy it. That'll pay for your flight! How about ALIEN scope stereo? What's a return flight, about $350? Just how much do you want to go to the last BFCC?!

Yes John. That's my feeling too.

How should we go about this do you think?

As one of the main organisers, would you be able or willing to invite a poll or something, or else get members to express their interest in a specific thread?

Look forward to hearing what you reckon.

Cheers,

John and Graham, I'll write to both of you later to ask a couple of extra info.
Greetings from Verona. CIAO.

Ya know, for a split second, I actually considered it!

Note: A split second is a very short amount of time.

I didn't realize that ALIEN was such a rare one these days.

All joking aside, it IS something that I'd like to take myself, the wife and boy to see, especially if they6 may be few and far between in the future.

I know one thing for sure, if I am able to go, I will shoot the whole thing in Super 8 scope!

Aren't the rates rather cheap in March?

Also, if we were able to actually come up with the funds, would any of our freinds over in the UK be willing to put up a mad projectionist Yank and his alluring wife and lovely boy for a night or two. We promise not to each much, (mostly because I'm sure that I'll be glued to the hosts screen!).

I eat a lot of popcorn!

I don't think Alien is particularly rare it's just it's not available new any longer. I have two prints myself... and a couple of odd reels I think.

I'll speak to 'Uncle Keith' about the Edwards Air Force base David. He'll undoubtedly want more details but it will be good to whet his appetite.
