Joasia arranged for us to visit the South West Film Archive this afternoon. What a fantastic place. Loads of old TV and film footage, both professional and amateur, of the the South West. We were shown around the place, had a look at the equipment and were taken into a vault. The first set of film I saw when I walked into the vault was of Westward Diary 1st January 1962 – 5th January 1962 – the week I was born! What a wicked coincidence. Never one to miss an opportunity, I dropped off a card for OpenReel and she seemed quite keen on it. It would be brilliant if we could get them involved somehow.
