I am having an amazingly busy few months which is brilliant but exhausting. I'm sorry to say, because of that, I cannot make it up to see the films. I'm so thrilled for you and everyone at the Animation Club and am very proud to have the opportunity to work with you all on such fun and inventive films. I had a wonderful time and am looking forward to seeing what new exciting ideas are in the pipeline. Paddy Molloy	Thankyou for your kind invitation to the premier screening of Hollingworth Histories and the presentation of awards at Longdendale Community Language College on Wednesday, 8 July 2009.
