I've got about half way through the DVD so far and I agree that the quality is excellent.  I didn't have any problems with the sound and following along when David was giving the instructions, but I did have to rewind a couple of times the asides and discussions (the permanent / dry wipe marker discussion, for example), as it was difficult to make it all out on first view/listen.

All in all through, it's a brilliant first DVD Graham, and I don't think you need to change anything.  For the price, the quality and production is outstanding!

I'd urge anyone thinking about signing up to the club to really do so.

I think this club idea is great.  People who join get to come and see people like Dennis and Ken Stillman and the like without breaking the bank and if they cant attend still get to see the workshop.  I could not make the first part of Dannis' workshop due to a booking so I will benefit from the dvd of the workshop.  That is great.  Even just attending the care and share days its nice to pay once and be able to come along to as many as I like.  I guess it works out good for Graham too because he used to have to take a risk when he invited a special guest over as the air fair and lecture fee would have had to be paid for no matter how few people attended.  Now the worry has been taken away and we can enjoy the appearance of some first class balloon artists we otherwise would not have been able to see.  I am looking forward to seeing Ken who is a great guy as well as a great twister with great loud shirts.

Since recording the days I have 3 small memory cards 4, 8 and 16gb for the HD camera that I purchased for the events, those that come to the days know I have to keep changing them about and they always run out at the wrong time. I decided to buy the largest 32gb available which should record a straight 5 hours which will be plenty of time with some to spare should we run over slightly. On amazon the one I wanted was £71 so of I go to ebay and there were two auctions of the correct make finishing tonight and I got lucky and won with a winning bid of £26.55
so a bit of a result there  
At the next day it's just hit the button and away we go............hopefully!

More good news, I just bought another 32gb memory card from ebay and this one was even cheaper, just £20.50 for an item that shoudl be £71 and it's brand new never been opened. Well that is what they say.

 The first hard disk I bought for my computer was a "mammoth" 450Mb drive - way more than enough to last a lifetime, surely...  :? Cost me £250!!

The times they are a changing, as they say!

I still have a book that I got with a Sinclair zx81 'A hundred things to do with 1k

I keep forgetting to mention that I have made Lord Geffery an honourable member of the club as he has been converting the disk's from the camcorder onto a master DVD and doing some editing of graphics etc, so Geoff is member number 033.
