Surrey Border Social Side

The committe meets over a meal in a pub
  The club committee working hard!

In a recent survey of members in our Surrey filmmaking club it was clear that the social activities in the club were strongly welcomed alongside the filmmaking aspects. The club has a wide range of social events including:

  • Summer day out - The most recent (July 2007) was spent at Tilford Rural Life Centre but previously it has been in members gardens and also at the Hollycombe Steam Collection. We have also spent days in a combination of events including: making a film called 'Judgement Day', barbequing, relaxing and partying. Previous to that garden parties have included evening barbeques and midday garden parties, some with swimming pools laid on, others in large wooded gardens. For pictures see Filmmakers garden party 2002,  2003, and 2006. (2004 and 2005 took place but pictures not available)

  • Christmas Lunch. This is another annual event of high popularity as revealed in the member's survey. For the past 4 years this has taken place at local Golf Clubs. For pictures of past event see: December 2001, December 2002, December 2003, December 2004, December 2005, December 2006 or use the menu above.

  • Individual groups meet over coffee, over a pub lunch, in a members home etc according to the project they are currently working on. Visit the WriteAngle page for a glimpse of what goes on in that group.

  • Exchange visits with clubs from Germany and the Isle of Wight.

  • Visits by and to other clubs.

  • Interclub competitions.

  • New members evenings. These are organised to provide an informal opportunity for new members to meet more long standing members and to discuss their interests. These are normally arranged informally in a committee members house.
