Solent MovieMakers, the Southampton-based movie making society, is planning to film a documentary about the Southampton trams and needs some help from Isle of Wight residents.

They are interested in talking to anyone who is willing to be interviewed on camera to talk about the trams, the network and anything they remember about them.

Of particular interest would be people who actually worked on the Southampton tram network in any sort of capacity.

Additionally, the film-making team would love to have access to any old photographs or memorabilia which people may have — these could be filmed or copied and incorporated in the documentary.

Initially, the club would like anyone who is willing to help to contact the director of the film, Howard Blake, on 07878 122116 or by email at howardblake712@hotmail.com

The project is planned for completion by late this year
