2009-10 Season Review

Despite being bit of a rush job, I hope those that saw the Season Review video at the Club Award Night on Friday enjoyed it.

I've been asked if it will be out on DVD and yes it will be available, I've just normalized the sound track (equalled out the volume of the various tracks) and removed the false ending (I left in an original credit on one of the goal clips).

UPDATE: now available to order on-line here, a snip at £2.50.

I'd like to take this opportunity to say thanks for the generous applause and for the VPs for awarding me the Don Hartwell Award, which I felt honoured to receive.

I must yet again thank those that have been involved with Brakes Videos in its various guises over the years, especially Paul Edwards for all the highlight edits he has done from the whole matches.

P.S. there will be a DVD of Josh Blake's goals together with highlights of the Testimonial Match - as well as a multi-DVD Highlights set for the 2009-10 Season.

Thanks and c'mon you Brakes.
Nick Rogers.

New Blood needed for next season

Due to the difficulty of balancing work, home, Brakes Videos, Brakes Trust and other activities - I've decided to stand down from videoing and editing the matches from next season, but I hope there will be volunteers out there to carry on.

If there is anyone interested then please contact me, I'd be only too happy to advise, help you getting started and stand in on the videoing from time to time.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped and supported Brakes Videos - with special thanks to Paul Edwards for his great work in producing the edited highlights.

C'mon you Brakes,
Nick Rogers.

200 length swim for a good cause

My daughter is entering the 2010 Swimathon, which is a nationwide fund raising event in aid of Marie Curie Cancer Care.
She's going to try for the longest swim on the challenge - 5Km, that's 200 lengths of the swimming pool.
Even if I only get one sponsor from this post then it will be a result.

You can sponsor her here...


Here's her message:
Hey guys, I've taken on the challenge of swimming further than I ever have before - and all in aid of a very good cause. Marie Curie Cancer Care makes a difference to the lives of thousands of terminally ill people by providing free care from Marie Curie Nurses. If you would be generous enough to sponsor me - however much you can spare, I would really appreciate it! Cheers, and wish me luck! Heather :-)

Update - 10:00 pm Sat 17th: 200 lengths done in 1 hour 51 mins.
Message from Heather:

Hey guys, I took on the challenge of swimming further than I ever have before - and all in aid of a very good cause. Marie Curie Cancer Care makes a difference to the lives of thousands of terminally ill people by providing free care from Marie Curie Nurses when it is needed most. On the 17th I put in my all and swam the 5k in under 2 hours yippee! Thanks so much to everyone who sponsored me and gave me their support and best wishes :-) With the online and paper pledges combined we've met and exceeded my £500 target hooray! Thanks again, Heather :-)

Brum Snr Cup @ Nuneaton Town

The wonky camera angle was due to leaning the tripod forward in order to see the corner flag past the sticky-out bits of scaffolding on Boro's scaffold tower - if I get to use it again I'll take some bungees to lash the tripod further forward.

2-0 (pure comedy):


But that's about as good as it got - for more "highlights" see the Whole Match or Monthly Highlights DVDs.
