Yorkshire Wartime Experience Weekend 4-6 July 2014

This weekend marks the start of the Yorkshire Wartime Experience, a fabulous annual event featuring vintage vehicles such as tanks and ambulances from the World Wars, 'battle' re-enactments and entertainment from vehicle parades to stalls.

The Friday is for school parties only, but the Saturday and Sunday, everyone is welcome.  With tickets at £8 and adult and £5 for children and concessions (a family ticket of two adults and two children is £23), it is an excellent day out for both young and old.

Last year we were blessed with scorching weather and the people that were lucky enough to be camping, came away with a tan as well as lots of memories.

As a flavour for the re-enactments, please see below some of the fabulous pictures I took from the event last year:

Hope to see you there.

Click to Continue Four Weeks to Your Sitcom Pilot Until a writer can put together a group of people that audiences cannot wait to be with every episode, there is no sitcom. And that’s where it all begins. Starting with a joke is like starting a drama with a message. Character is the key that allows the creator to deserve jokes or messages. This workshop will consist of four one-week sessions. Each session with include an online lecture, along with various viewing and reading assignments, links to classic TV comedies online or from other sources and a writing assignment that will be submitted to the instructor for review and detailed response. Students will be encouraged to post work for group review and feedback, since the ‘room’ or ‘table’ is a highly significant element in the professional world of creating television comedy. Interaction benefits comedic creation and fine tuning in almost every instance. In the real world of TV production, creative group sessions can be both daunting and invaluable to the finished product. This class will attempt to replicate that experience. And you will finish the workshop with a complete draft of a 30 minute sitcom script. Click to Register Learn How to Create Dynamic Characters Actors Want to Play With Our FREE Webinar!
