A community that forgets its past has no future

We are a video-making club located in Outwood, near Wakefield, West Yorkshire in England. The club was formed in 2001 to encourage people of all ages to take an interest in film making.

We intend to film events around our local communities in Outwood, Stanley, Alverthorpe, Wrenthorpe, Kirkhamgate and Lofthouse. All our members are volunteers and give their time freely.

The aim of our club is, with the aid of local funding, to produce a series of videos that reflect the history of our area, and to put together a digital database of film and photographs for future generations.
