FULMER NEWSLETTER December 2016 – Issue 60 FULMER NEWSLETTER December 2016 – Issue 60 www.fulmervillage.org INTRODUCTION This is the 60th edition of the Fulmer Newsletter – which was started by Edward Guinness 30 years ago and we are delighted that he has written another fascinating article for us about his life in Fulmer. We thank him for creating such a helpful and, we hope, much appreciated publication and hope that he continues to entertain us with his writing. It is good to see that we have another layer of communication in the village, and thank you to David Kelly for spearheading ‘next door’ which after only a few weeks has been very helpful in reuniting lost pets and owners; helping villagers with assorted recommendations for tradespeople; etc. There are almost 100 people signed up and do take a look at this helpful initiative. The village, of course, has its own website – www.fulmervillage.org which will be having a ‘makeover’ soon – if anyone has ideas or would like to help with this please contact Francesca Hall-Drinkwater [email protected]. Our usual thanks go to our very loyal advertisers and contributors without whom the newsletter would not exist. Thank you also to the band of helpers who deliver the newsletter around the village.

Niall and Charlotte Dunne who with their 3 children have moved to Langley Cottage, Cherry Tree Lane. FROM OUR MP I find it hard to avoid concluding that 2016 will go down as a defining year in our country’s history. The outcome of the referendum on our membership of the EU has precipitated a political and constitutional crisis that remains entirely unresolved and is likely to take several years before the new political landscape domestic and international. In the meantime we must hope that the outcome of these changes will not be damaging for the economic wellbeing and quality of life of Britons and that the benefits that are expected by some are realised. It is noteworthy that a number of the issues facing us locally, are an echo of some of the underlying causes of the national debate that has been occurring. The local plan now up for consultation is a radical departure from earlier ones and reflects the reality of housing and development pressures that are now so present in the South East - a reflection of population increase. Much of it is controversial as it involves the development of Green Belt land. I am hoping that there will be some strategic vision for South Bucks and that the choices made can help enhance the environment in the long term. Well-designed development can do this, as one can see in ground breaking examples such as Poundbury in Dorset. That however, had some inspirational leadership from the Prince of Wales. We must hope that some enlightened entrepreneur might do the same for us. But public pressure is crucial to getting the right outcomes and I hope that as many as possible will contribute to the process. I am sorry that the continuing breaches of planning control from the Fadak Mosque remain a source of disturbance and distress for many residents. I will continue to support action to ensure planning regulations are observed here as elsewhere. There can be no possible justification for this type of conduct. But my hope for 2017 is that Fulmer will continue to be a beacon of good neighbourliness. As I come up to my twenty years as your MP, I have nothing but good memories of the welcome you have all given me over many years. That is a reflection of how much you all put in to making Fulmer a place of welcome and I look forward to working with you to keep it that way. Dominic Grieve QC MP Saturday 2nd July 2016 Fulmer Day A great day was had by all at our annual village fete! The sun shone for much of the day and we had a record number of stalls and activities for young and old alike. These included the ever popular petting zoo, amusement rides, junior grand prix and this year for the first time we had our own bungee trampolines which proved great fun! Captain Jack from Pirates of the Caribbean fame came along to get proceedings underway accompanied by Disney’s Ariel from Little Mermaid. Ariel performed a sing- a-long, which the kids loved, whilst the Uxbridge Air Cadets marched through the village playing some well know tunes. There was also singing from the Accord Community Choir in the church. In the evening the Black Horse held their annual garden party, which went on well into the night with live bands, DJ, BBQ and hog roast. It really was a fantastic day. In total we raised circa £3,300 for local charities and good causes, we will be distributing the funds over the coming weeks. In addition, Fulmer Infant School raised a further £1,500 on the day, which will help them continue the outstanding work they are doing there. So a grand total of £4,800 was raised. This year we will be supporting Carers Bucks, Second Hope, MPS Society, Leonard Cheshire Disability, Dash, Contact the Elderly and Fulmer Village Hall. Thanks once again to all that attended and if anyone wishes to join our 2017 committee please contact us via [email protected] or our face book page. https://www.facebook.com/fulmerfete/?fref=ts See you in 2017!

  • Read Our Perspective on Physical Production Studios in LA, London
    Physical Production Studios in LA, London, and Toronto How the demand for original content is driving shortage of supply of physical production space in production hubs Physical Production Studios in LA, London, and Toronto | Contents Contents Introduction 1 Growing demand for content and its impact on the global content creation landscape 2 Trends impacting supply and demand dynamics for production studio space 3 Methodology to assess each market 6 Major production hub market assessment 7 Call to action for content creators 15 Considerations for investors 16 Physical Production Studios in LA, London, and Toronto | Introduction Introduction In our previous studio production space case study, we focused on how demand for production space in New York City (NYC) is outpacing supply and how to get ahead of this challenge. In this media and entertainment market assessment, we determined that demand for production space at NYC soundstages will continue to outpace NYC supply through at least 2024 and provided key findings that could be applied to other filming locations and leveraged by content creators, real estate investors, and production facility operators. Based on the response to that paper, we expanded our methodology to understand the supply and demand dynamics of three other large English-speaking production hubs: Los Angeles, Toronto, and London. In the 15th edition of Deloitte’s digital media trends survey, we noted that watching TV and movies is consumers' favorite entertainment option, presenting a sizable market that has drawn in an array of competitors using original content to differentiate. The proliferation of content creation, particularly by a growing number of streaming platforms, has resulted in companies requiring more studio production space to film content.

    ‘STUDIOS AND SPACES OF PRODUCTION IN THE DIGITAL ERA: GLOBAL CHALLENGES AND LOCAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE SCREEN INDUSTRY’ BY GIANLUCA SERGI Acknowledgements This report is the result of a collaboration involving many people and organisations without whose help and support it would never have been possible to carry out the necessary research. In particular, I would like to thank EM Media and the Welbeck Estate for their support throughout the project. I am particularly indebted to John Tobin (EM Media) and Robert Mayo (Welbeck) for their time, energy, logistical and financial support the organisation they represent granted to the project.

In particular, I would like thank the Centre for Advanced Studies, the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, and all my colleagues in the School of Cultures, Languages and Area Stud- ies and in the Department of Culture, Film and Media.

Thanks also to Luke Taylor for his invaluable help in laying out the report a great deal more effectively I would ever have been able to do.
