Moving The Shed in 1979
This is a great clip of a large number of our Club Members moving & erectiung what is the current Tractor Shed. This clip was filmed by Frank Dibble in 1979 & is reproduced here with his permission. It's a great clip that documents the origins of our club. It's VERY hard to work out from the clip where this all takes place. The club look quite different now, in no small part thanks to the likes of the people in this clip. (see if you can work out who they are!)
This was originally on 8mm. It is very rare that the image of a single frame of 8mm film is viewable on its own as it is on 9.5 and 16 mm. Getting old film onto DVD is much more frustrating than building a model aircraft where the kit seems to have no connection with instructions....
One of the many challenges in copying from film is the realisation that the lenses on home projectors in the good old days were about toyshop quality...
So the quality of "moving the shed" is so bad in places one has to view it as modern art. Still, I like to think that the music is fairly appropriate and sufficiently distracting.
