Society of TELEVISION LIGHTING DIRECTORS

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

We will have a whole raft of new hardware solutions on-hand to show how Catalyst can be configured to meet different applications and budgets whilst allowing upgrades as users needs change”
