Mini Legends 2016

I produced and filmed the official DVD for the Join The Mini Legends charity event,

3rd - 5th June 2016 @ Grace Hill House.

After weeks of planning, hours of footage and days of editing, the DVD has been a success! Capturing scenes from each day. From the Mini scrutineerting on Friday to the big rally races on Saturday and finishing with scenes from the family fun day on the Sunday.

Friday shows the Mini cars at Grace Hill House, going through tests and preping for the rally the following day. The rally races began on Saturday morning at Grace Hill House and travel around Torr Head and along the beautiful coast line to Cusdendun. Saturday is filled with excitement and beautiful scenes including the Minis driving through the famous Dark Hedges. Sunday fun day was the most fun to film as Grace Hill House was filled with stalls, music, activities, food, people and of course, lots of Minis!

The DVD is still available to order, by contacting myself directly on 

07894859000 

Special thanks to my fellow videographers who helped me film the weekend and also the organisers of Mini Legends for the opportunity.

Practicing what I preach

Why I decided to put my relationship status on Facebook and practice what I preach

Yesterday, me and my girlfriend Amy pressed 'public' on our relationship status on Facebook and here are the reasons why I wanted to do this.

Firstly, this is not 'a big deal' nor is this 'new' news, as me and Amy have been together for over a year now and 90% of people who saw our post already know. I thought it was appropriate time to share our relationship status on Facebook after the shocking news of the shootings in Orlando, USA. "An American-born man shot 49 people at a gay nightclub in Orlando" and this is now "the deadliest mass shooting in the United States since 9/11". This is such heartbreaking news and it has greatly affected the LGBT+ community across the world. 

I have always openly supported LGBT+ on my social media and in person. I have constantly preached that everyone should unapologetically be themselves and be proud of who they are and who they love... yet I have never posted my relationship status on Facebook in fear of what some people may think/say/react. 

Innocent members of the LGBT+ community went to a nightclub to enjoy each others company, in a place where they felt safe enough to be themselves. This is something that everyone strives for; love, acceptance and security. A lot of LGBT+ individuals don't have this, however I am one of the lucky ones who does have this. A small example of this happened last weekend. During my first night out with my new work mates, I confirmed my sexual orientation and my work mates reacted in the same way they would have if I told them I had toast for breakfast! This made me wonder why I ever worried about telling them in the first place!? Again yesterday I watched as all social medias were flooded with support for Orlando and the LGBT+ community.. and again, I thought, why am I so worried!?

"Nobody in this world should feel afraid to be who they are or love who they want to love" ❤️

As mentioned I have always stood up for my LGBT+ friends but now I think it's time 

I stood up for myself. As a sign of solidarity with Orlando, I write this with no fear..

I am proud to be in a very happy, healthy, beautiful relationship with my beautiful girlfriend (and best friend) Amy. Love will always win and this attack will not stop us from being true to ourselves!
