Chairman's Newsletter No.17

Dear Members,
Tuesday nights judge Alan Cooke said "Finding a winner is not going to be easy" unquote. How very glad I was to hear him say that and you should be as well. The 31 entries for the Digital Panel Trophy meant he had to review 155 images, its true that some were repeats but he still managed to find something to say about every one, an outstanding piece of top class judging. Well done to Jillian for the winning panel, and well done to all the authors who did break away from the normal format and created something different. Pushing back the traditional boundaries and using the software how it is meant to be. One member however has learnt a hard lesson, read the competition rules {Click Here} or more precisely stick to them. No real harm done on the night but a superb piece of work passed over.

Several members made some constructive suggestions on the night, I'm sorry but I cannot remember all of them, however we would like your feed back about the competition ASAP. With the growth in our active members it is not hard to see that next year we may well be over subscribed for this comp, so please let Malcolm have your ideas, do we need the 1st image? could we get by just showing one image?

Can we simplify the rules? If so how? Your suggestions will be appreciated/debated.

Next Tuesday we have Roy Fisher's lecture I'm sure it will be interesting and there is sure to be some great images.

Christmas Cards. As usual we will have a table organised to put your Christmas cards on, this will be available on 8th & 15th Dec.

Photo opportunity, The Winter Christmas market is opening on Sunday in Winchester and all over the country towns and villages will be switching on their Christmas decorations/lights.

My regards and keep snapping!
Terry
