Tees Valley Community Media

This week in Skinningrove screenings of 4 new animations took place. The participants were presented with certificates and a 1 gig USB memory stick by Community Media Coordinator, Steve Thompson who had led the 5 week series of “Digital Discovery” workshops. A great evening was had in the packed venue and at the end Dr Ashok Kumar spoke enthusiastically about the work he had seen.
