Chairman's Newsletter No. 11

Dear Members,
The first assessment for the season had 66 images for the judge to look at. Geoff Roberts who is the only 'pro' photographer still involved in club work was almost lost for words and was astonished at the standard of some of the prints in our primary class. Stating several times that they belong in the advance section, he awarded a total of five 10s, well done to all of the authors, I must mention Andrew Greenwood who had two 10s. Good work Andrew.
One other mention is the achivement of moving up to the digital advanced class, well done Peter Read. The high scores in the primary class show that your committee's decision taken some time ago to increase the number of high scores for progression is beginning to work along with you getting better! The intention was to raise the standard of images and it is showing in the scores.
Mounting board. Sheila and Peter Read have found a new supplier of mounting board. Next week they will bring to the club a selection of the boards and are willing to act as 'gofers' for the members as the supplier is near to their home. You can get some ideas from the suppliers website www.frithandcompany.com and they will cut to 40 x 50 when requested.

Next meeting is a digital lecture from Paul Sansome entitled 'Someone has to do it' Sounds like an anthem for your committee!

Regards and keep snapping
Terry
