IMPORTANT! CHANGE TO MEETINGS

The majority of our meetings in 2022 were held in the Upper Room at Haywards Heath Methodist Church. However members decided, at our AGM in January 2023, to continue with future monthly meetings on Zoom. These will be supplemented with several outside meetings spread throughout the year.

ALBANY COMPETITION 2023

The Albany Film Competition was held on Saturday, June 24th in the Wesley Hall at Haywards Heath Methodist Church, and was hosted by our club this year.

The Albany was inaugurated in 1966, initially for clubs based in Sussex, and until recently has been held annually. The competition is now bi-annual, and open to clubs in Sussex, Surrey, Kent and Hampshire.

Our re-edited version of "Seeds for Life" won the competition, and our entry "Are You There Mum?" was runner up.

Filming for our entry took place in March 2023, and a great day was had by cast and crew alike. Below are some photos taken at the shoot.

FAREWELL HHMM

Sadly, following our 2024 AGM, and after 75 years since our foundation, Haywards Heath Movie Makers will no longer operate as a formal club after the end of March 2024. However, the remaining members aim to keep in touch through regular, informal, social meetings.
