The sun always shines - well nearly always - on the South West Region's meetings in Taunton. Here is the regular crew including one of the Regional Chairmen Norman Thompson; The Treasurer & Secretary Chris Williams, and a host of other notables. We meet at The Ruishton village hall, just off the M5, so very easy to reach from the rest of the country. Visitors welcome!

WILLIAM HAGGAR

Fairground film maker

Biography of a pioneer of the cinema

 12th September 2010

Those of you who read John Marriage’s review of the above book in issue no. 132 of Photographica World may be interested to learn that the author, Peter Yorke, will be giving a presentation about his great-grandfather at the next South-West Region meeting on September 12.  Amazingly, Peter has been able to obtain restored copies of some of Haggar’s silent films which will be shown at the meeting.  For further details contact Jonathan Hill on 01935 815887.
