I recently received a lovely email from Chris Abram who I worked with to get "The Erics" website up and running for an amateur international video competition.
Now I don’t often like to blow my own trumpet but I feel that if I don’t tell people some of the nice things he said I would be not only wasting a good opportunity for self- marketing but also not giving Chris the appreciation he deserved for taking the trouble to write to me.
I trawled the internet and found some local companies, but none of them seemed to appreciate that we are a local amateur video club and not the wealthy BBC. Eventually I came across Sharon’s name on the internet and immediately telephoned her. That was one of the best moves that I have made for several years.
…within a couple of days I was getting a request for photographs to liven the site up, and shortly after that the first draft magically appeared on my computer. Obviously there were one or two things needing adjustment, and I thought that we needed to include other site links, but in no time at all we had our finished website.
The impact that our website has had in the world of amateur film making has been enormous. Few clubs having anything as upmarket as our "Erics" competition website, and that is all due to the creativity of Sharon Jackson. She has made some excellent creative suggestions, helped those of us lesser mortals who know little about preparing websites and over the last few weeks made any additions and alterations very promptly indeed.
I was thrilled to receive such a kind letter from Chris; especially of these words
We are truly proud of what Sharon produced for our video club.
