Dear Members,
With so much going on over the past few days it was a pleasant change to be able to have the time to properly welcome John Wigley our judge for the assessment. Thanks to those who came alone early and helped set up, and of course those who stepped in on the night to cover absentees. Jill's organisation once again helped the evening flow smoothly and John was suitably impressed at the standard in the primary class prints and PDIs. Several top scores were awarded and it was practically nice to see Keith Bamber progress to the advance group.
Next week. For those who were not at the meeting Mark gave out a few tips about what to expect from the Epson team next week. It would seem that the offer of some printing is on the cards. Therefore if you have a particular image that you would like to be printed bring it along on a memory stick. There will be tips on printing and possible some packs pf paper for sale. Do not miss this one!
Computer Virus. A few words of warning to all of us. During the recent club DAV evening, a virus was passed, from a memory stick (this virus gains entry via the USB port) to our stand alone 'Royale' computer and to other memory sticks. This was picked up very early and a series of messages was circulated to those who had access to the 'Royale'. With much help from other members the problem was isolated and we hope that is the end of the matter. However this problem could have been avoided with some simple and basic procedures, which everyone of us should be capable off and practicing. Please ensure your personal PCs are protected by anti virus software. There are several free programmes available AVG and Avast being just two, both are easy to access and should give you adequate protection. With next weeks program in mind, lots of different memory sticks being used, we do not want a repeat of a few weeks ago. I do not think the Epson team would be too happy if we infected their equipment! So please be aware of the problem, if you do not currently have protection get it NOW!
Congratulations. He was upset and felt that he had let the club down, who is he? Peter Read after the scoring at the recent Print Championships. We all know that when we submit images to any form of judgement we open ourselves to being delighted or disappointed. When there are 3 judges the personal likes and dislikes are tripled. So on that day Peters 'Creek Men' was not flavour of the day, along with many others! So it is a pleasure to announce that the same image has been awarded a 'Certificate of Merit' at the Winchester Open 2010. Knowing how hard it is to get an acceptance at this well respected competition to go one step farther is some achievement. Very well done Peter, maybe there is hope for the other poor scorer that day, me!
Photo opportunities. Friday, Saturday & Sunday at Thruxton for the Super Bikes. Saturday & Sunday at Langrish near Petersfield for the Sidecar and Quad bike Grand Prix. www.langrishmx.com for details.
My regards and why not keep snapping!
