In a careless moment (:-) I offered to edit Fred's material, since we have a broadcast standard television production unit, and he has recently sent me a copy of what he produced. Apart from the obvious blackmail possibilities (!-) of the sight of us all eating and drinking and singing (even though one can clearly see, and hear, some people talking shop!!) he has done an excellent job, and I should be able to produce quite a nice little souvenir video. However, before starting to edit it, we would like to know if anyone would be interested, in principle, in purchasing a copy. There is no intention, obviously, of making any money out of this, but we do need to cover the costs of tapes for editing, copies, postage, etc. The copies will be on VHS (or Betamax by special request, at a small premium) in either PAL, most of Europe, SECAM, France and a few other places, or NTSC, USA, Canada and Japan, encoding formats. It appears that the breakeven price will be around 10 pounds for UK copies, or for PAL copies for European destinations where payment is made in pounds. For European orders paid in local currencies, or for copies in SECAM format (only really France and Russia) the cost will be 12 pounds 50 pence. For US, Canada and Japan (all NTSC format) the cost will be 15 pounds. All prices include a plastic case and postage and packaging. These prices assume that at least 6 people would wish to purchase a copy. If we get a lot of interest the price will be reduced. In order that I can decide whether to go ahead, I would be grateful if anyone who thinks that they would probably wish to purchase a copy would let me know as soon as possible, preferable by email to .
