FILM fans are invited to zoom in to the first meeting of the Camcorder Users Collective at The Citadel on Thursday 17 February, from 7pm-9pm.

The new group focuses on meeting fellow camcorder users, swapping ideas, information and tastes, and viewing each other's work, whether celluloid, video or digital. Screenings are normally on DVD and VHS but with notice other formats can be prepared. All potential filmmakers are welcome, even if they have no equipment and no experience.

The meetings are organised by the St Helens Film Society, which is a member of the Institute of Amateur Cinematographers.
