70 Years Of Scouts Gala - Newbold Verdon

 
The annual 1st Newbold Verdon Scout Gala takes place in the village this year celebrating a very special 70 years of Scouting in the village. We start the film as a steam roller makes its way toward the event at the primary school before a parade lead by a marching band arrives including a very special car, a Rolls Royce which was presented at a Jamboree in 1929 to mark 21 years of Scouting to Baden Powell who was honoured with a number of gifts including a Baronetcy by King George V, BP took the title of Lord Baden Powell of Gilwell, other gifts included a set of Braces and from the 50.000 Scouts of the World attending, a very special gift of a Rolls Royce Car and a touring Caravan. We follow the band and parade through the village and arrive at the gala itself on the playing field at the primary school. The gala is officially declared open and the fun begins, first up is the there and back miniature railway before we see a chance to try out more active pursuits like rock climbing and more. There`s also plenty of more traditional gala type stalls like a jar tombola etc. Over to the arena where a tug of war with a twist is taking place, humans Vs a mini road roller who will win ? watch to find out.

We end with a walk around the busy event with lots going on and a fun time being had by all attending.

The film features Bradgate park which was the birthplace and early home of Lady Jane Grey - 9 days Queen of England. The park is well known for its herds of red and fallow deer who roam freely amongst the spectacular scenery of this unspoilt part of Leicestershire.

BMX National Series at Huncote Hornets, Leicestershire

The 29th and 30th September 2018 saw the #BMX National Series come to #Leicester Huncote Hornets BMX track, The event (rescheduled due to weather issues in early spring) saw riders of all ages arrive in the Leicestershire town from across the country to do battle on the Hornets BMX track behind the Pavilion leisure center. My film aims to give a sense of the race atmosphere on day two of the event where a dramatically cloudy sky and lighting gave a cinematic feel to races on the track. Hold on tight this is a fast one !.

The Paris - Roubaix Bike Race - April 2013

My film features the professional (and dusty !) Paris - Roubaix Bike Race which took place in April 2013 and was filmed at various locations along the route in France. The Race takes place (as its name suggests) on a route between Paris and Roubaix in northern France and is famous for its rough terrain and cobblestones which often cause riders to fall and gives the race its nickname of 'The Hell of the North & 'A Sunday in Hell'. The event was first run in 1896 and as one of cycling's oldest races draws large crowds from many country's. The race was created by two Roubaix textile manufacturers, Théodore Vienne and Maurice Perez.
