The club is a mixture of beginner movie makers and members with many years experience. We meet weekly in the Hat Factory arts centre where we have continued to benefit from the use of free rooms.

During the year, the number of registered and paid-up members has decreased from 7 to 5, which is becoming critically low if we are to continue. The annual membership fee is £12.50. Students get 100% discount.

Meetings were held weekly throughout the year. The main activities included:

• Making a movie in an evening,
• Reviewing members films,
• Putting on a show for another movie making group,
• Entering an amateur regional competition,
• Attending an exhibition related to digital movie making,
• Filming local events and maintaining the Local Digital Movie Library/Archive,
• Reviewing the latest digital movie-making equipment, etc.

This year we entered the IAC North Thames Regional 4x4 Competition with two shorts, "The Story of Gija Jumulu" by Peter Farrow and "Fish the Film " by Scott Bailey and the Club members. We were knocked out in the first round.

The LMM Library/Archive of digital movies about Luton has grown from 1200 to 1350 entries, with over 150 being shot in High Definition Video (HDV1080/25i) and 160 in HD Stereo 3D (AVCHD1080/50p MVC). These have been documented on our website. Copies are available for the public on DVD and Bluray disks.

The final part of our LCST funded Cultural Olympiad Project, the second multi-screen movie exhibition called Lutonarium - Cultural Olympiad is still to be shown in Luton.

Scott Bailey continued production of "Destiny of the Crystal". He has done further filming at dramatic film locations such as the Derbyshire Peak District.

A presentation was given to the Spring Park and Orpington Movie Makers at Bromley on "3D movie making" by Paul Clarke.
