The club meets roughly 4 times a year, and I have been taking my camera along to most of the meetings. I haven't however made all the resulting films available on the web. (Maybe one day :)) Initially they met at the Hilton Hotel, Warwick, then changed to the present venue, the Home Guard Club, Tiddington, between Warwick and Stratford.
Here's a large crowd of the members, having a fun moment - massed guitars. To see the 3.5 minute video, click on the picture, the file size is given below the picture.

There are smaller file sizes here, 5.5 mg and 2.5 mg.

February 2004
The 3rd Anniversary was a special occasion, with a special guest star, Bert Weedon, an amazing 85 years young. This man can still hold an audience. To see video extracts of the day, click here
June 2004
The summer meeting took place on a lovely warm day, when we were all able to spread outside in the sun. The special guest was ex Shadows bass guitarist Alan Jones, who played with a succession of club members on lead guitar. Unfortunately he arrived a bit late, and I had to leave early, so I don't have film of as many members playing with him as I would have hoped. To see the videos, click here.
November 2004
Autumn meeting 6th June 2004. This was very full house, with lots of people looking for a chance to play. David Martin was there, and played rhythm for a large part of the afternoon, and Nick and IanP took it in turns on bass. Ecca and his far flung friends The Jaguars did a set, (Sixchannel) was there also from Staffordshire. To view the videos, click here

4th Anniversary meeting 6th February 2005. This was 'just' a normal club event, although no less enjoyable for all that. I used just my own camcorder, but kept hold of it instead of using a tripod, which meant I got a good variety of shots. I have made a DVD of the event, and the clips on here are extracts from that, with a beginning and end, so should ideally be viewed in order. To see the videos, click here
June 2005
The first summer meeting - a few less people attending, as many were on holiday, but that left all the more time for everyone to have a good play. These clips have mostly been edited from two cameras. Click here for the videos.
August 2005
The second summer meeting, again a slightly smaller crowd, but a great afternoon nevertheless. I now have two camcorders and a new separate microphone, so again a two camera edit, and hopefully the sound is an improvement. Click here for the video page.
October 2005
I haven't had time to make a page for this meeting, but the directory housing the web files can be found here.
December 2005
Brian 'Licorice' Locking was a guest at this event, he played harmonica and bass with a Warwick group led by Ian McCutcheon on lead guitar, and also played bass with the youngsters who are The Foottappers. Again I have not yet made a web page, but the directory with the video web files is here.
December 2006
I didn't get to go again for a whole year, here's the list of web files, featuring Shazam, including an acoustic set, and young Daniel with friends, plus a couple of guest groups from another club, as well as other regulars.
