I just had to write a note to thank Derann Films for the superb event they put on at Blackpool in November. The Northern Film Collectors Convention was something else this year I can tell you, and so much effort went it to it. The film presentation was perfect, as was the gala meal on the Saturday. The whole weekend was just superb throughout, and it most certainly was an event to remember for many years to come. I started going to this event from day one many moons ago and made the round trip of 600 miles each year for it. A few years ago I moved nearer Blackpool, 270 miles nearer, and now only have a short trip to get to this event. I got to know many new faces this time with new friends coming from Italy , Germany and beyond. Super 8 events such as this are certainly a great experience and I left late Sunday packed with new films on Super 8 for my collection, and even had to arrange extra transport to get them all home !! Thank you Derann and your helpers for a fantastic weekend, and if anyone out there missed it make sure you don't next year as you certainly missed a treat in 2006.
