New Meeting Place

The Echuca-Moama Film Society has a new home!

As of 25 November, meetings will no longer be held at Ceres. Instead, we'll be meeting in the Monash Room at the Paramount.

You may not know exactly where the Monash Room is; Don't worry. We'll be milling about in the lobby until about 7:25, then all go up at once.

Big thanks to Grant for donating the space!

Project: DVD Share

At the last meeting, during a discussion of EMFS member incentives, John Twigg suggested that members open their private film collections to the group. This is something that has been discussed previously, but never actually proposed at a meeting. The idea was met with excited approval, and followed by discussion about the best way to organise it. A plan was set in motion to compile a list of members' libraries, and that's what this post is all about.

Obviously, it's not mandatory. If you'd rather not be part of the list, that's absolutely okay, and won't preclude you from borrowing from the list. All EMFS members will receive the list, and be able to borrow from it - at members' discretion, of course.

(For example, from my own experience, if "Ian" borrows a film, then lends it to someone else, "Ian" is barred from borrowing films for a period of time. Similarly, if "Ian" already has three of my discs, "Ian" must return one before being allowed to borrow another.)

All I'm looking for at the moment are expressions of interest from people who are willing to share their libraries with the group. Please Do Not Forward Your Lists To Me At This Stage. I will then contact all interested parties with a simple style guide, which will make it easier to compile the lists on this end.

If you have any questions - or suggestions - about this project, please feel free to contact me.

Cheers,
Steve
