Apart from a one-off previews evening last month, phoenix is not in the business of showing videos at the main meeting at all. But yes in general the question of how to keep people interested at meetings is often discussed at committee meetings - the committee is in need of new ideas and more importantly people to implement them. That usually means new people and nobody is stepping forward.

I have some small hope for the cons because the organisers of next year's wellington con are not Phoenix members. Perth seems to handle an annual convention without any club focus at all.
