Chairman's Newsletter No8

Dear Members,

                        Congratulations to Peter Read and Andrew Greenwood for winning the Print of the Year trophies last Tuesday.  Click on each image to enlarge them.  Rosie Armes was very impressed with the quality of not just the winning prints but with the overall standard of the 56 images on display. Her critique was both interesting and educational, she inspired us with her knowledge of almost every subject that was presented offering advice alongside constructive criticism. My thanks to all the committee members who doubled up on the evenings tasks, thats what committee work is all about, but in particular I would like to thank George M and Brian L who both jumped in at the last minute to do the the tea/coffees, my mistake I forgot to ask for volunteers before we got started. 

Martin has asked for some help with the Tom Mackie evening just a bit of assistance with crowd control etc, please let him know ASAP. 

Prints for selection for the league and Salisbury exhibition, if you havent already done so please hand them in this coming week.

John Tilsley will be our guest speaker on Tuesday, it is bound to be an interesting time, John has been a stawart with both the SPF and the Western fed for many years and still works in the darkroom! Hence the title of his talk.

Saturday 26th - the long awaited celebration of the clubs 40th birthday, please ensure you are seated before the 7.30pm start time and it is free parking at Crosfield Hall.

Digital images of the year - Tuesday 29th.   The same rules apply as for the POTY trophies, only images shown in assessments or trophy comps during the previous season are eligible, you must have your entries in by midnight Friday.

Thought for the moment -  "don't count the days, make the days count"

Regards & keep snapping

Terry
