Chairman's Newsletter No. 6

Subject: newsletter # 6

Dear members,

Last night was a most interesting evening watching the images from Wigan 10, at the end of the show to have several members say how inspired they were by the images was just icing on a good cake.

My thanks to Peter Read who also brought along 5 AVs that had also been made by members of the Wigan club, what a versatile bunch this club are! One member asked about borrowing the disc and I'm sure it can be arranged, requests to Pat Ball please.

For those not at the meeting some news about the Stockbridge exhibition, the recorded total of visitors was 318, this may well have been the most visitors to any of our exhibitions. The peoples choice for the most popular image was for the second year running George Marsh's 'Sandwich tern & Young'. We are attempting to book the same dates for next year.

Some photo opportunities this week, why not try the 'Dorset Steam Fair' this is reputed to be the biggest steam fair in Britain and its almost on our doorstep. I'm sure there will many chances to get candid shots of 'People working' for the Les Fredericks this season.

Next weeks meeting is a club members evening. Jillian and Mark will be holding a 'teach in' for those of you who would like to help run the 'Royale' this is scheduled for the small committee room, if you are interested in helping out please let Jillian know ASAP. Meanwhile the rest of the club are invited to submit questions for a Q & A session. Send your questions to me using email please( terence@jamieson10.plus.com) because the royale will be in use the questions need to be those that can be answered without using a visual display. However we should have the royale back for the second half of the evening and maybe we can do some demos if that is requested, or you may get a demo from me on how to put together an AV using 'Pro Show Gold' not that I'm an expert its more of just another way of creating AVs. So the contents of next weeks program is up to you.
One more commercial for the 'Tom Mackie' evening, please order/get your tickets ASAP, we are fast approaching the date and really need to push along the sale of tickets.

Regards and keep snapping

Terry
