About Us
The club was formed in 1989 as the era of cine was coming to a close and a new club using video was announced locally.
At the time, Percy Bayford and Brian Meetens were members of Shoreham Cine club, but decided to see what video had to offer and went along to a meeting of this new club.
Unfortunately, the new club received very little interest and folded but Percy and Brian now had a taste for video and along with another member, Tom Perkins, decided to try and start a video club that would be rather more lively and incorporate more interesting programme ideas.
Through advertising, six new people joined, and, to save hiring a room, meetings were held at Brian’s house while the members started to formulate ideas for the club...
Come September, filming commenced on Night Encounter, a psychological thriller that went on to win the 1990 Albany Competition.
By the time filming finished, membership was moving up rapidly, and the club ended up at Ferring Village Hall on 2nd June 1990.
Over the following years, the club incorporated FAST films... and won many awards for a variety of films.
During more recent times, the “Video” was dropped from the club name to reflect the shift to digital formats.
We remain a friendly, non-profit organisation who enjoy making films as a hobby and teaching others about the process.
