The aim of the Woodstock Video Club is to bring together people who share a common interest in film
making and to enable its members to learn and improve their film making skills and
techniques together.
Our club includes members with all levels of experience, beginners are especially welcome and
the club provides plenty of opportunities to get involved with 'hands on'
film making, either as an individual or part of a larger production team.
We are a friendly and enthusiastic group that offer a wide range of
activities including technique workshops (where members
can practice new skills and techniques), club film making, talks,
competitions, club visits, social gatherings and many more topics.
We currently have 19 members and meet on the second and fourth Monday of each
month at the Woodstock Social Club (44 Oxford Street, OX20 1TT) between
7:30pm and 9:30pm.
We look forward to welcoming you.
