Coventry Programme 2024-2025
2024:

A selection of superb AV shows from worldwide contributors, first shown at the 2024 Convention.
2nd November:
Following its success last April, the open critique session returns – up to 6 images each, in side-by- side format, or a short AV show (maximum 3 minutes) in AVI, WMV or MP4 format – This is an opportunity for members to have their work discussed and analysed in a friendly non-competitive manor by their peers. The annual exhibition closing date is in January so a great chance to get feedback on a potential entry as well.
7th December:
Show & Tell – A forum for members to discuss new ideas and techniques and / or display and tell us more about their work or latest project, including the equipment used to produce it.
The Festive Social will allow members to chat, and hopefully partake of some light refreshments as we bring 2024 to a close.
A bring and buy table will be available to allow members to pass on unwanted items or perhaps purchase a last-minute gift.

Just over the footbridge turn right, down the path by the railway to Albany Road, turn left along Albany Road, past the City Arms, a J D Wetherspoon pub recommended for good value food and drink.
