As you can see this represents a great mixture of experience and new blood for our club.

For those of you who could not attend I made the following committment to the membership.
"I am well aware that I have a hard act to follow with Jack's tenure as chairman, I will work as hard as is possible to continue to foster the much envied friendliness of our club, to look at improving the camera and the presentation of images skills of all of the members by whatever means possible. To get/badger more members to present their images for inclusion in league, inter club and SPF competitions, and in particular the clubs website.
Where possible to enhance the clubs image within the local community and the photographic world."

Photo opporntunities coming up:-
Saturday 11th July Romsey Towns Beggers fair, lots of chances to get your images for the Les Fredericks Trophies!!!!
Tuesday 14th July, Southampton and Romsey will see parades and church services for our local regiments return from active service.
Again more people working!

Les Fredericks trophies for next season:-

Prints - People working, and
PDIs - Stormy weather.
You have got six months to get your images, go for it!

Next week is the print critique evening with our 4 club judges so bring along up to 5 images (good or bad! ) and see if their different styles of judging stack upto how you see an image.

Those of you who attended last weeks butterfly walk, have you sent an image to the webmaster yet?

Regards and keep snapping!
