Sidney Museum on TV & Newspaper

Post by J1A3L5 »

Hi everyone -

Apparently last night A-Channel had a bit about the Sidney Museum and it showed the club display case and quite a bit of my castle. I think that's pretty exciting! I think my parents managed to grab a recording of it. Did anyone else see it?

Peter also said that last week (I think?) another channel had it on. Finally...Peter also says that on the 24th (a Thursday) there should be a page in the newspaper about the display.

-John.

Hi,
My parents managed to record it on their DVD Recorder thing, so they can make a DVD out of it. However, I'm not sure how to digitize this for a file - If nothing else, I can (when I next see them) go about burning DVD's for people who are interested. I understand it had a pretty long section with Peter talking about my castle, and a couple good shots of our display. Apparently the only part of the museum stuff that was shown were the Star Wars sets.

Thanks, Steve! Sounds great!

This will of course have to wait until next time I see my parents - Will probably be a couple months.
