Drift

If you can get your footage transferred to video .. one simple way is to set up the projector, and to copy the footage on to a digital camera direct from the projection screen. You will need to set it all up so as not to get glass glare from the screen. Other than that, it can be transferred by a photo-lab at some expense. I have vague memories of the valley as it was, and of the dam being built.

I also have memories of it have those memories as well. Also when I started serving my time with S.W.E.B. in 1960 we used to maintain the oil filled contactors etc. for the pumps. Ref. the footage I took it on video, and have since put all my videos on to cd, I am going to run them thro the computer and if necessary get another program and try to take off some stills.

do you know this is so apt...I was only speaking to my mum the other day....as she mentioned that Anne Shorland lives here..(I might be wrong about the name )? get this checked out asap..theres somes houses along side of drift dam...i ll get back on this one..lovely picture by the way!!

Would that be in the bungalow overlooking the damn? as that name rings a bell, would the husband be Terry?

Yes it would be.....oh my***.... I ll have to let you know but it won t be till tomorrow as my mum will be asleep now...I ll let you you tomorrow?

Gotta find out my Uncles birth place for you, by the way I have managed to download the pictures of Bert Angwin, He s really chuffed and waiting to see them.

Ok that s cool..... hope he likes them?....I ll let you know about the above when spoken to mum....very interesting.. just out of ?interest do you know someone named Marion Hosking?

Once again the name rings a bell, have to have a word with cous Gillian, ( Uncle berts Daughter) the trouble is our families from that area are so interwoven ( think I spelt it right) that we all seem to be related!!!

Oh wow!!..Can I ask Gillians last name? or would you prefer to send PM from now on?...I ll understand.... it s not Tregear? is it?

Oh heck, don t now her married name but will find out, her mum Olive Angwin years ago was a nurse and later a matron, if that helps. Gillian was also a nurse for many years. Too late to text her now but will find out tomorrow if I can.
