Chairman's Newsletter No. 23

Dear Members,

Many thanks for your response to my request for more prints to be entered into last nights Natural History Trophy competition. We ended up with a nicely balanced program for Donald Bradshaw to adjudicate over. His comments at the end of the evening about having a hard task to pick the winning images were not just the comments from a nice guy. The many silent pauses Donald used during the viewing shows just how hard he was studying each image. His wide knowledge on 'nature' showed with the many comments and insights on the images. Congratulations to George Marsh for his winning print "New Forest Red Deer" and to Steve Williams for the sharp image of " Velvet monkey at Kruger" in the PDIs.

Changes to the programme. The earlier adverse weather has forced the committee into making some changes to our planned programme, so please amend your diaries to read:-

9th March 2010 Assessment evening # 4. The committee have decided that this will be a carry over of the entries that were submitted for the January slot. Once again Jillian has had to restrict the number of images to be shown.
So in future please let us know your preference and priority for your images, we would like you to still submit up to 4 images in either 'prints' or 'pdi' format but to number your images 1- 8. The committee will still have the final say in the order to ensure a well balanced presentation.

13th April 2010.
Assessment # 5.
11th May 2010. Assessment # 6

18th May 2010. Chairmans evening. Steve Rogers from "The Wargraves Photographic Project" will now give his presentation on the work of the project. I know several of you contacted him with quieries about family and friends
and he has found out some interesting facts for you. His offer is still valid so if you did not contact him at the time you know have that opportunity again. Email him at steve@twgpp.org.uk using the word 'viewfinders' in the subject line.
You can of course do your own detective work using the website. www.twgpp.org.uk

Reminder and look forward. The club AV evening (16th March) We have several disc's of images to show or we can show any new DAVs you may have been working on. Please submit any titles you have to me ASAP.

2010/11 programme. Mark and Jill are currently putting together the next years programme and we still need your ideas for it. So please let them have any suggestions for the contents.
