MidPhot AV Competition 50 Year Gala Celebration
|
The Midlands has always been a leading light in the world of Audio Visual and it is good to report that things remain alive and well which is a great testimony to our forefathers who started it all back in 1975. It is great to be able to celebrate these achievements of those involved and to show some of the AVs from across the years.
