We have two events to cover coming up. Middlesbrough Mega Mela 18th/19th July and Stockton Riverside Festival (Fringe) 30th July – August 2nd. For both events we’ll be fielding a camera crew to feed the stage side screen(s) We also need someone on the vision mixer for Riverside and possibly for Mela too. There is scope for stills photographers but we’re anxious to have plenty of video camera folks particularly for Riverside as we’re using 4 cameras and we need cover for breaks. If you’d like to be involved please go here http://tinyurl.com/tvcm-vols and fill in the form Tonight we’re dusting off the Community Challenge (see archives) From 7.30pm we’ll be gathering in the Maynard Arms, Carlin How and Toad Hall Arms, Moorsholm for a battle of minds.

Maynard Arms, Carlin HowToad Hall Arms, Moorsholm Click to Enlarge In the year 2000 we saw the very first online pubquiz between Skinningrove in Timms Coffee House and the Black Bull in Trimdon. Skinningrove won! This was a great boost for Skinningrove for a number of reasons. Firstly Skinningrove were just recovering from two massive floods. The other reason was that the Black Bull had what they thought was an ace on their team – Prime Minister Tony Blair (pictures below).. This led to a whole string of Community Challenges which grew in size until it covered the entire country. There was even a Euro Challenge. We had a TV crew with us at the time so you can enjoy the atmosphere at Timms in the video below. Find more videos like this on The Digital Village Social Network

Through Alastair of Becta and Teesside Uni through Steve Thompson and Dave Eagle who developed some software the idea grew and grew.
