STLD members should all have received their smart new 2008 diaries by now - however we have had a single report of a printing problem, in that the pages go straight from March 2nd to October 13th, then at the end of the year they go back to October 13th again.

We think this was an isolated incident as we have heard nothing till now, but would be grateful if you could check your copy for that or any other binding problems. If it has happened more than once we need to know in order to rectify the situation. And if anyone has not received their diary please contact us too!

Contact us via the Membership Query section if you have a faulty diary!

The August 2007 Flyer has now been sent to members, and can also be read here

Zero 88 Lighting is not a brand you usually associate with TV. Well known for providing reliable and affordable lighting control equipment Zero 88 products are found within education, theatre and live production environments. Look a little deeper however, and you will find that they are used extensively within the UK TV production segment.

The seventh annual A.C. Lighting North Tradeshow in Leeds last week (1st/2nd May) saw the biggest uplift in attendance levels since the event began – attracting over 30% more visitors than last year.

Owing to a construction delay with the new 40% bigger Royal Armouries Saviles Hall, the event took place in its original location - a move which proved conclusively that the show has now outgrown the venue and will need the extra capacity to cope with predicted attendance levels in 2008.

As well as providing a definitive entertainment technology showcase of over 70 leading brands for buyers in the Midlands, North of England and Scotland, the event also served as a platform for many exhibitors to unveil their new products to a UK audience for the first time this year.
