Well despite the onslaught of grounded planes, suspended flights, closed airports and the phenomenal surge in euro tunnel usage over the last month, it seems so far (touch wood) we’ve managed to dodge the invasion of Ash mania for the main part. Mike got back just after, Roger just before and Bob.. well, he decided to delay... but it's all been pretty good. A daily watch on flight updates and travel news and some careful planning just in case and it’s all good. pheww! Bring on the hurricanes, the floods, the wind, the rain.. we’ll take them all on! Never give up, Never surrender!

As with many, we took a moment to ponder the prospect and likely hood (or inevitability) of 3D and its impact within the future of our industry, but it seems it’s here to stay and this has sparked not only a surge in new purchases but a much expected increase in demand!

With new productions announced weekly and the latest being ‘Men in Black III’ it seems 3D production is the hot topic for 2010. So in our usual Hyperactive style, we’ve been out and about looking at what’s new and needed and are ensuring we’re kitted up and ready to go. Stay tuned for more information!

Sssshhhh.. don’t get excited yet, but it’s almost here.. not long to go. Come back later to find out what we’re up to for WC2010!
