This is often referred to as "the last duel (fought) in England". It took place in 1807 and involved young army officers. It is part of the town's history. It started from a challenge as a duel fought with pistols but turned into a murder with grim results... The film has been premiered and was extremely well received. Copies in any format can be provided for £6. to cover the cost of professional copying and postage only. It's also coupled with The Undiscovered Cotswolds produced by the club secretary Lee Prescott. The latest production completed this year (2004) is Visons Of The Future [Time Slip]. This stars two 15 years old actors / students. Alex Farrow member of the UK Youth Parliament and Laurence Mills. It's is a comedy drama and is considered by all who have seen it, i.e. the general public, to be very good and quite hilarious.

This experience includes camera and sound recording techniques, editing, script writing, acting, lighting, indeed all the aspects of movie making. Through the year the unit provides:-
