The Great Western Society: 50 Years of Progress

Here is my personal project from my course at uni, focusing on the Great Western Society, looking at a brief history of the society, and their site at Didcot Railway Centre. Also acting as an appeal video for the £125,000 appeal to purchase a new 50 year lease on the Didcot site.

Update: On Thursday 6th October 2011 the new 50 year lease for the Didcot site was signed by GWS Chairman Richard Croucher, securing the long term future of the railway centre.

Very informative and well presented piece. It's certainly got me wanting to visit Didcot again - been a few years since I was last there now.

One thing I would suggest keeping an eye on is the volume levels. The voiceover seemed a fair bit quieter than the pieces delivered to camera.
