Stinkin' with Mike Hughes

Price changes effective from January 2nd 2011

Transition Extreme are introducing an updated price structure for 2011 to mirror the VAT increase and aid in the sustainability of the Charity.

The prices will come into effect from the 2nd of January and include some changes to membership types and admission categories.  New price lists will be available at reception and on the website from the 2nd of January.

As always we look to offer promotions on various events, memberships and courses throughout the year but making the most of the membership pass system will definitely save you some of that hard earned cash!

What is your video camera of choice?

Defgrip is a BMX run site but covers "art&culture" too i guess. So perhaps some folk aren't familiar with the site. Today they put up this interesting article about what video camera's the "pro's" use and why. There is a wide range of camera's in there. From classic VX1's to the new(ish) 7D's. Deff worth checking...
