Sheila Budden

 

Several members of Viewfinders attended the funeral of Sheila Budden on the 21st October.  There were a large number of people gathered to celebrate Sheila's life and show their support to Arthur in his sad loss.  Both the camera club and the Audio Visual group sent flowers.  Sheila had lived a full life, enjoying dancing and photography; particularly her Audio Visual [AV] work.  Sheila loved to use colour and portray a sense of fun in the AV sequences she produced.  We shall miss Sheila at the club and look forward to welcoming Arthur back.

Chairman's Newsletter No. 52

Tuesday evening started with the sad news that Sheila Budden passed away at the weekend. For those who are new to the club and may not know Sheila, she has been a member for many years and was very active in the club during that time, particularly within the AV Group. Sheila was also a member of the SPF council at one time, as minute secretary.
Details of the funeral are: 21 October 2010, 11.30, West Chapel, Southampton Crematorium.

Bryan Powell did a good job of judging our first assessment of the year but it was a disappointment that entries were low; so come on get snapping for the November assessment.
Bryan announced that he is retiring from judging and this was his 14th visit to us over his 26 years of judging.  We wish him well.

A couple of reminders
AV's needed for 26th October - we want to have plenty to choose from that will go forward to the friendly battle later in the year. If you can put together a 5 minute sequence then please let Terry Jamieson know.

 

Christmas Card images - we know that you all take those lovely frosty pictures, robins, foliage, etc. In fact it can be anything you think would make a good Christmas card. It is your opportunity to get your picture in print and sent out to various people our club deals with such as the Hall committee, The Advertiser. Send your digital image to the usual viewfinders address by Friday 29th October.

Next Week
We have Andrew Whitmarsh giving a lecture; World War II Photographs, I am sure we are going to see a very different view of the war than we would have previously seen.

See you all next week

Chairman's Newsletter No. 51

It was a nice surprise to come back from holiday to find I had been awarded a seal of merit in the PDI of the year competition and that Roy had taken winning place. Last evenings Pyramid competition was well supported and it was great there was so much audience participation.  Congratulations to Tony Rackam for winning.

Charades Evening [14th December]  This is to give you a little notice of what is required for the evening of Charades.  A photograph (print or pdi) should relate to a well-known film, song or book.  I will show you an example on the evening of the A.Vs. (26 October).  Any method of producing the photograph may be used.  I would emphasise that the evening if just for fun - the more entries the better. John May

 

Club AV evening- 26th Oct. We have committed to entering a couple of  friendly audio visual competitions. One on 28th Jan 2011 and the other on the 15th April 2011.The number of AV's from each club will depend on the number of clubs entering these events. The usual time restriction of 5 minutes maximum per AV is really the only rule. Any of your old, new or reworked material is acceptable, we had a very enjoyable evening last year with some 21 AVs being shown, it would be nice if we could do the same this year. Would all of the members who want to contribute to the club evening please send details to Terry Jamieson ASAP.

Christmas Dinner - There has been another suggestion put forward for a venue, The Malthouse Inn, a Christmas menu £16.95 per person. Can you please indicate to Martin Brown if you would like to support going out for a meal and which venue would be your preference, by the end of October please as we will need to get booked in. If you would like to put forward a different idea for our Christmas celebration then please do so by the same date.

Next Week - Assessment evening, work in by Friday please, judge for the evening is Bryan Powell.

Look forward to seeing you all there
