Here is your reminder that we have our NADJ South Wales Branch meeting next Monday, (a temporary change from the usual Tuesday; due to a clash with another DJ event over the water in Weston and also necessary as many DJs may be committed to School Discos over the last week before the summer recess).
 
  The last meeting back at the beginning of June was again well attended with 21 DJs coming along and the Wales Branch committee feel confident that this months event will be equally successful for those of you who take the time to come along and enjoy the tangible benefits of networking, not to mention the educational content that is proving popular at the meetings.

  This month we will have a hands on comparison of DJ Music software and controllers, including systems from PCDJ, OTS, Virtual DJ, Mixmaester, DJ and Rekord Box.  We also have hardware and PC controllers from Pioneer, Denon, Numark, Cortex and Hercules.

  Add in the regular features such as our popular Music Quiz, Members show (from Dan Essex), new equipment demonstrations, the branch shop and DJ Library!

  The new date for your diary is Monday 12th July 2010.  Doors open at 7.30pm and the show officially begins at 8pm.

I hope you all had a good May Day Bank Holiday weekend and that you are now looking forward to a busy summer.

  As we are into a new month again, it’s time for me to remind you of the next NADJ South Wales Branch meeting that will be held on Tuesday 11th May 2010 at the University Of Wales Newport, Caerleon Campus (NP18 3QT).  Proceedings begin at 7.30pm and the program for this meeting is packed with useful topics and information that are both enjoyable and beneficial to attendees.

This month will include:

• Report on national developments (after the 2010 AGM)
• Presentation on- 'Voice Power' (how to command attention)
• Report on membership benefits (after the 2010 AGM)
• Presentation on Contracts, Terms & Conditions (Part II)
• Members show – Sound System demo by Zone Audio
• Manufacturers demo – Advanced Event Designs (including the new Micro deck stand)

  There will also be the regular features, such a the ever popular Music Quiz, the new branch shop and Library.
