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.
