We have a monthly meeting, on the 4th Monday of the month. These meetings are held at the Arreton Community Hall, Main Road, Arreton, 7.30 for 8.00 p.m. The usual format of the evening is that we listen to a speaker on some relevant topic, view videos, or have some form of quiz, as well as having a general 'noggin and natter'. Visitors to the Island are welcome to join us on these evenings.

February
This is the time of year when we review, on video, what we got up to last year. This was the first occasion on which we used our new multimedia projector which was backed up by an excellent sound system put together by John Peach and Rick Leader. On what was a very miserable evening, 28 Members came along to the Community Centre at Arreton to view a programme that I had put together. It started with some short films including the 1955 Austin Golden Jubilee at Longbridge. The Gilberts, who had taken part in the A7OC London to Brighton Run in their A10/4 Sherbourne, took a series of short videos with their digital camera covering the journey up to Epsom Racecourse and the journey down to Brighton. I managed to 'stitch' these together and this provided an interesting record of the event. The final video covered the various events that we had attended on the Island during 2009, such as the Old Gaffers Festival at Yarmouth, the Woolsack Jazz picnic, the ATDC ‘Vectis ad Venture’, the 40s Weekend at the IOW Steam Railway etc. During the evening, Rick Leader was seen surrounded by people wanting to pay their subscriptions. | |
