Part of the day will be spent on “live” judging of our club competition entries by Howard and part on AV training, also by Howard.

An opportunity like this will not occur again in the near future.

Here is a short CV he sent us: "I have been a keen photographer since childhood, but it was only 6 years ago, when I retired, that I started to seriously make digital AV sequences. The AV community in the UK is strong and very supportive so my wife, Carole and I soon made a lot of friends who helped me make progress. I feel that it is important to share your sequences and get ideas from others, as well as critically looking at as many other people's sequences as you can.

I was encouraged to enter club, regional, national and, recently, international AV competitions. I am pleased that many sequences have done quite well, and some sequences particularly well. I was awarded medals in two MFFC AV Salons, but the highlight so far was winning the 2010 RPS AV International with 'Migrant Mother'. I have also got more involved with the Royal Photographic Society and received an Associate distinction, as well as a Masters distinction from the Photographic Alliance of GB. I am vice-chair of the RPS AV Group.

We are really looking forward to meeting you all, looking at AV sequences and sharing ideas."
