Just a note to inform your members of 2 half-day workshops I'm leading on Saturday 31st and Sunday 1st August. It'll be based on the South Downs visiting 3 or 4 locations. Meet will be at Alfriston where we head off in the minibus for the afternoon and evening. Time will be 3pm till sunset. It's summer and as photographer's we are all fully aware that the best time to take landscape images is early morning and evening.
Much of our photography will be centered around the Cuckmere Valley, near Seaford in East Sussex. We will shoot sweeping vistas of Downland hills, the Cuckmere River, The Seven Sisters and as the sun sets, beach scenes and majestic cliffs.
This is suitable for those of all levels, from the beginner to the more experienced shooter.
In order for Robert to spend quality time with each person, numbers will be limited to just 5. Aside from making transportation to various locations much easier, it also makes for a friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Cost for the day will be £70 which includes transportation to all locations.
For full details including how to book, please visit my website at www.robertcanis.com
or phone me on 07939 117570.

Ex-Chairman's Newsletter No. 43
Dear Members,
I bet some of you are thinking why? Why am I getting a newsletter from Terry? It's simply a matter of logistics, I've got a distribution list and Lynn has yet to set hers up.
So for the next couple of weeks you may get more than you bargained for, at least I hope so!
At last nights AGM the following positions were confirmed by the meeting:-
Club chairman(person) ......... Lynn Lambeth,
Vice Chair...... Keith Bamber,
Treasurer..... Andrew Kirby,
Secretary.... Martin Brown,
Internal assessments....Jillian Koernich,
Internal Trophies..... Malcolm Richardson
External comps..... Vacant,
Programme sec.... Vacant,
Committee members... Margaret Kirby,
Mark Koernich & John Walter,
1 x vacancy.
Auditor... Liz Whitemore,
SPF rep... Jack Whitemore (TBC) & Lynn Lambeth.
Lynn has asked for someone to assist with the vacant positions in particular the ext comps position, George Atkins has said he would help, guide and mentor anyone through the season, please contact Lynn ASAP.
Les Frederick trophies subjects. The meeting voted for the following subjects:-
Prints - Simplicity,
PDIs - Dawn and Dusk.
Photographer of the Year. I was very happy to present the trophies to two outstanding photographers, for a seasons excellent work.
Prints - George Marsh with 58.5 points and PDIs to Roy Lambeth with 59 points.
Promotions. At the last assessment Chris Maiden's printed image scored enough points to move him up into the advance class, well done Chris.
2010/11 SPF leagues.
The SPF have just issued the 'football type' leagues for next season.
The SPF have created the first format by using a scoring system from last season to create as far as is possible leagues of equal ability.
With 8 leagues in the PDI format we were placed into league #2, and our opponents are - New Forest, Farnborough, Solent, Fareham & Porchester, Petersfield and Basingstoke.
With just 5 leagues in the print section we are in the top league No.1 a tough group indeed!
Bournemouth, Farnborough, Basingstoke, Chichester, Ordnance Survey, & Salisbury!
This coming season looks to be an exciting one with promotions and demotions being the final outcome!
Having been one of the clubs that badgered the SPF to hold a print league, we really must take part. So we really need an External Competitions secretary. If you want to see the full list of the leagues please look at the SPF website, it's too extensive for me to type here! You may be surprised at some of the clubs below us!!
Click HERE.
13th July - The evening will split into two halves, with presentations of prints by me x 1, Peter Read x 2, Martin Brown x 2, George Marsh x 1, Roy L x 1, Gary Richardson x 1, and if he is attending Mark K x 1.
Gerald Ponting has 2 or 3 PDIs to talk about. Given each one a maximum of 5 minutes this should comfortably take up the first hour. The second half I have some discs from three of this years international competitions
we can easily show a full hour s worth of PDIs.
20th July - the butterfly walk is being organised by Gary Richardson. The location is Danebury Hill, To get to Danebury, take A30 west out of Stockbridge, towards Salisbury. Stay in the outside lane on the dual carriageway, about half way up the hill out of Stockbridge, turn right. Follow the road for about 2 miles and Danebury is on your left. It is signposted on the duel carriageway ( brown sign ), and you can't fail to miss Danebury when your driving by. There is plenty of parking on site, just cross the cattle grid, then continue up the hill. Time of start is 6pm.
27th July - the BBQ at Georges place. Timings TBC.
My regards to all of you and many thanks for your messages last night and by emails.
Keep on and Happy Snapping!
Terry

Chairman's Newsletter No. 42
Dear Members,
This weeks Mix & Match was great fun and that is down to the efforts of Jack and Liz who did the organising. Many prints were brought in by the members and we settled on a figure of 36 images for each side. Jack acting as judge went to some extreme lenghths to find a link between the prints, if at all possible. How he managed to link 3 metal structures to a street scene of old houses beggers belief ! If I remember correctly it was the street lamps being made of metal or the colour of them! As it was such a prolonged first half we agreed to restrict the last part to just 12 images and a close result gave the winners a massive one point win! The real winners were the attending members who had an entertaining evening joining in with the banter.
For Sale.
Sheila Read brought in her Lumix FZ 30 with all it's bit and pieces in an attempt to raise funds, as I go to press, it is still available at a very reasonable price £70, however, I know it generated interest so it may be sold, you'll have to speak to Sheila if you want a good light weight possibly second camera.
Next Week.
Is of course the AGM, this is a very important club event, where the past year is reported and the next committee selected. Without a committee any club will fail and that would be a pity for all of the members. We still need a couple of members to join us and help run the club, experience is not a requirement just the willingness to do a little bit extra for the enjoyment of everyone.
I hope to see you all there. POTY awards & choosing the subjects for next seasons Les Fredericks trophies.
The club Website.
Peter Read tells me that he has added several usful links to the website, check it out.
Photo opportunities.
With lots of events going on all over the area here are just two to think about:-
The Winchester Hat fair.......... Hatfair
Lepe country park....The New Forest Remembers D-Day at Lepe
13th July meeting.
Okay I guess you all failed to hear /read in the newsletter # 40 about this club event. I still have yet to get your names and the images you want to talk about. I will start the evening off by explaining how and why I took one of my particular images, this might take just a couple of minutes, it depends if any of you want to ask a question and more importantly if I want to/can answer it! So who is next?
I hope to fill the first half of the evening with this type of answer/question session, the second half I have a couple of 'open international' discs to show.
20th July.
This years butterfly walk is being organised by Gary Richardson and there is a change of venue, it is at Danebury Hill from 6:00pm. Parking and directions details are TBA.
My regards
Terry
