A small team from DCC attended the second public showing of Paul Taylor's Otter Hole Video at the Palace Cinema in Cinderford. It was filmed last May when Dave 'Sparky' Parker went to see the formations for the very first time - 26 years after he first visited the cave and at the age of 73 .
Paul obviously has a sense of occasion as he met us suited and complete with red bowie tie.
The hour long video was taken 'as it happened' and obviously there no way of going back for a second take. Paul has made a first class job of editing the clips together to make a video which holds the audience and tells a real story. The showing was well attended with an audience of around 80 people - the premier attracted an audience of 120. All proceeds from the showings have been donated to the Gloucester Cave Rescue Group.
However the surprise of the evening was that our very own Mike Clayton was a member of the caving team and was even interviewed in the cave after the tidal sump. I'm sure he will be available for autographs. So what's all this about him not liking Welsh caves? Me thinks he doth protest too much! So I'm now arranging trips for him into such Welsh classics as Ogof Cynnes and Ogof Rhyd Sych.
Attended by: Dave Bowley, Emme Porter, Mike Clayton, Bartek and Paula Biela, and Keith Edwards
