Thanks to Jan Andresen, I was allowed to share the pictures here.

Jeepers, i think this is a must next year if there is another one. Looks great.

I had a good time there, came home with a few films so pleased, well done to all those who were involved in putting on this event, Mark

Who's the daddy at the front of the queue 😉

Not sure Del but he was quite annoying! ! Only joking I guess that was you ha ha.

LOL, cheers Mark, it was me and Dominique at the front, top guy, really friendly, hope to see him again.

Lovely man is our Dominique. I'm pleased you got to meet up with him there Del. 😊😊

It looks a brilliant venue, well done Dave Guest for getting it. I was just wondering when these pictures were taken, was it during one of the film shows, as it looks a little bereft of collectors, but I know it's hard to tell from just a few photos.

Del,
I didn't realise that was you as I would have said hello properly, i was third in queue,i said hello to Dominique as i've seen him before, Mark.

Howcome he won't join us here? Dominique I mean?

Mark, I don't believe that, we must have been stood next to one another for the best part of 1/2 an hour, I was so engrossed in chatting to Dominique, really nice guy. Next year please introduce yourself

It is a shame the resolution of the photos on the forum has dropped in general, I like to zoom in on the films to check the titles, it is just a blur these days when you zoom in, or is it me ?

The resolution Bill, now things are back to normal here again, is as good or as bad at whatever originals are posted here.

OK Andrew thanks, I think I have sorted the problem now at my end, apologies for moaning

I david guest would like to thank every one who attended my film this weekend the rooms are booked for 2017 and are
Friday 17 Saturday 18th and convention day sunday 19th 2017 at 10 am
a special thanks thanks to paul barker and my son alan for doing the bring and buy also special thanks to simon mconway mark Norton and keith wilton and paul barker for setting up the room don and bob for doing a first class film presentation .without these dedicated film men this would not go on
I have never seen as much super 8 films in all the years I have been attending film fairs and everone I spoke to said deranns event was never as good as this .I bought and elmo gs 1200 of a guy who approached me on sunday morning I sold it within 1 hour anyone who didn't come missed a great event see you all next year

Here are some of my pics from the dinner on Saturday night.

A great fumeo projector there, how the hell did they get it up there, an iron fairy, that looks bloody heavy. Did anyone get any pictures of its projected image on the screen ?.

... and a few from the Sunday.

I didn't get any pictures of it Paul, but the guy I was sat next to at the dinner and who had been a professional projectionist was convinced it was 16mm projected. He was very surprised it was Super 8...

Is not based on the 16mm version, I would be concerned at how high it is making it top heavy, I'm looking for the scaffolding to hold up the stand. Are those amps by the side or the
power supply for the lamp ?.

The finest Super 8mm Projector ever made! The Fumeo 9145. Around 30 or 40 something kilos I believe!

Need to bolster those floorboards and wear a truss at all times to save the hernia popping out! 😂😂

It's great to hear the event goes from strength to strength for you David!
Well done indeed!

What a magnificent looking Fumeo.

That's me talking to Robin, probably thanking him again for the Tom Thumb print

Was a great day had by all ,meet some nice folks old and new ,this was the best blackpool ive been too ,and thank you to anyone that brought films from me its always a pleasure to deal with you all

Hello Paul Browning,in answer to your questions concerning my fumeo projector used at the convention dinner, the stand is an unicol projector stand and is very strong,I have fitted an enlarged platform to accomodated the fumeo, and is steadier than perhaps it looks, the power supply for the lamp is sitting on the floor below and behind the projector, believe it or not unlike most xenon lamp power supply units this is very light in fact you can pick it up with two fingers, the other two units sitting on a stand alongside the projector are a Nad amplifier and a SRS sound processor for psuedo stereo from a mono source.
