GREPRO Jump Starter Power Pack

I bought this handy little jump start pack a few months ago, when my van was having trouble starting and since I bought it, it has not seen any use. That is until today when I went to start our lawnmower.

As soon as it was connected, to the little mower it started on the first attempt, success!!

Later that day, this jump start pack was put in to use again this time on a friend’s car, that had it’s lights left on. This time the pack was left on a little longer and the car came to life after the second attempt. So in short I recommend this jump start pack, you never know when it will be needed.

I bought mine from Amazon when it was on offer. And today it is on offer again at the price of £56.99 which is 43% off the regular price. Link here

Another Busy Week

Rehearsals

The last couple of weeks, I’ve been busy preparing for three upcoming shows at Callington’s Prim-Raf Theatre. The first is the Silver Ball, and the second is the Autumn production, featuring two one-act plays (‘The Actor’s Nightmare’ by Christopher Durang & ‘Easy Stages’ by N. J. Warburton). I have been focused on handling the technical aspects for both productions.

The Silver Ball production coincides with Gorsedh Kernow week, promising to be an exciting time in Callington with numerous activities throughout the town. Additionally, during Gorsedh week at the Prim-Raf, there will be a puppet show titled “The Piskey Path.” The Gorsedh program can be found (Here)

And the third upcoming show is the Youth Theatre’s upcoming performance, (a script in time). This show will be part of the Prim-Raf’s 75th Anniversary celebrations.

September is shaping up to be a very busy month for both me and the Prim-Raf Theatre. We hope to see you at the Prim-Raf too!

The Prim-Raf Theatre is always looking for volunteers, both on stage and behind the scenes. If you’re interested, please check out their website for more information. (here)

Reolink Go

I really can recommended product, I have three Reolink cameras (Reolink Go). They are a fantastic. They are a solar powered 4g camera, which pared with the app is the perfect solution to looking after you properly. The camera will record when it detects motion, and can also notify you if needed.

The images and videos recorded can be download via your phone, pc or via the removable SD card. The supplied solar panel will keep the camera charged all summer, I have found over the winter you will need to take the battery out a couple time to charge, due to lower light levels.

Reolink also has the option for cloud backup, should anything happen to your camera. (1 camera free at the moment of writing)

This one is the upgraded version (Reolink go plus), which I have ordered but not yet used. I would keep an eye for special offers!

Reolink also do a PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) on the go range. Which will also you to over more angles from the same camera. Purchase here

Quick Review of: KAM KWM1920 TWIN UHF MULTI CHANNEL RADIO MICROPHONE SYSTEM

KWM1920

Thought I would give a shout out to this Dual microphone set, I wasn’t sure what to expect as this is one of the cheaper Dual microphone sets on the market, But I am so impressed with this.

The build quality of the Microphones is great they feel like they are more expensive. They sound excellent, the only downside is the battery life. although a good set of rechargeable AA’s would solve this.

The range is stated to be up to 50m which seams about right from my use. it has a rating of 4.1 out of 5 stars on amazon, which is where I bought mine from. Link here *

At £99 that I paid, I would recommend to anyone looking for a good affordable wireless microphone set for general use. Check out current prices from Amazon *

The Gorsedh Kernow (Gorsedd of Cornwall) was set up in 1928 at Boscawen-Un by Henry Jenner, one of the early proponents of Cornish language revival, who took the bardic name “Gwas Myghal”, meaning “servant of Michael“. He and twelve others (including Kitty Lee Jenner) were initiated by the Archdruid of Wales. It has been held every year since, except during World War II. 1,000 people have been Cornish bards, including Dame Alida Brittain, Ken George, R. Morton Nance, and Peter Berresford Ellis.^[2][3]
