Latest News
Funky Flamingo desperately needs funding.
For the last year or so Funky Flamingo has been going
through a thin patch in terms of funding coming into the
project. Although many participants and staff took part in
a sponsored walk last year the money it raised while of
course being useful was nowhere near the amount
needed to sustain a thriving club culture project.
I'm sure you're all aware of that fact as we haven't been
able to put on a club night for some time now (last club
night was Feb 2009). This is an empassioned plea to
anyone out there who may be able to help or who knows
someone else who may be able to contribute either
financially or otherwise to get the Funky Flamingo club
back on track. The club night especially is sorely missed
by its regulars.
New venue & training for 16-19 year olds.
'The Scene' is a new evening session on
Mondays taking place at the Newton Q
youth wing of the Meadows Community
Centre in Cambridge. The sessions are
disability focused but open to all between 16 & 19 years
old. Training in how to run a venue and put on gigs is
free. Anyone who is a musician or budding
photographer, sound or lighting person is welcome. If
you want to publicise the group on facebook and
Myspace, design posters or book bands or even play in a
band then get in touch with us funky@inspire.org.uk
FFTV National Youth Disability Film Awards
- 2009 awards were held at the Cambridge
Picturehouse last December.
Highlights of the event plus all the winning
entries are available to watch now on the
Awards 2009 Winners channel.
FFTV Members Training
- Members of the FFTV crew went training recently to
learn more about making films. Read Technical Assistant
Chris Fuller's review here.
British Sign Language
-FFTV is also on the lookout for a BSL signer to
make our films available to the deaf. While we
already run subtitles on some programmes this
would be an invaluable resource.
