Peter Coles
It is with great sadness that we report the death of Peter Coles. An honorary member of Leeds AV Group, Peter will be greatly missed by all whose lives he enriched. Peter has been ill for some time and passed away in Halifax Hospital following a massive heart attack. Our thoughts and prayers go out to his family at this sad time. His legacy of AV's will continue to bring enjoyment and admiration. We will remember him.

Peter's funeral will be held at 2.0 pm on Friday 8th April 2011 at St. James Church Hebden Bridge, with burial to follow. Peter had already booked his plot apparently just outside the door near a seat where he used to sit (and think)!. Details courtesy of RPS AV News.

Great Yorkshire AV Day - Sunday 20th February 2011
Yet another Great Yorkshire AV Day with an almost full house. The attenders' sequences were discussed and commented on by our guest for the day, Howard Bagshaw ARPS DPAGB, and others who gave encouragementa nd advice to the authors. There were some excellent sequences on show.
Howard's presentation was superb giving information as to the why and how he made his sequenceswith detailed explanations of some of his effects. His International award winning sequence "Migrant Mother" was particularly well received as was his sequence on the Special School. Howard also showed what many believed to be a video presentation which was actually thousands of images put together in a PTE sequence, very impressive.
Be sure to keep a look out for our next Great Yorkshire AV Day on Sunday 20th Novemebr 2011. Details to follow.

Great Yorkshire AV Day - Sunday 21st November 2010
What a great day. Sunday morning saw some excellent attender sequences with superb advice being given both by experienced members and our guest speaker for the day, Martin Fry FRPS APAGB. These sessions are now very popular and if you wish to have a sequence included in the next Great Yorkshire RPS AV Day in February 2011 then you will need to book early.
Martin ran the afternoon session showing and explaining how he constructs some of his sequences with particular reference to the third images and use of multiple layers in PTE. There was opportunity to see his latest award winning "The Mousehole Cat" and "The Loves I Have" along with several others. Fortunately the weather was good to us this time and all those who booked were able to attend. Make sure to put these events in your diary as they are definitely not to be missed. A big thank you to all involved in making these events one of the best.
