Hello to everyone. It seems only minutes since I was drafting the last copy for November’s Issue and here I am almost in the festive season ! We are now nearing the half way mark in our 2022/’23 year. Where does the time disappear to ?
About the time you may be reading this,we will have had two of our internal competitions judged ie. Events Cup and Environment Cup , the latter taking place on Dec. 7th. November gave us a very interesting presentation by Justin Garner on Macro Photography. We were also involved in the Annual 5 Way Battle between the clubs of Bispham/ Lytham/ North Fylde and Poulton le Fylde in which we came a creditable 4th. Although winning is quite prestigious, it is also about taking part……how often do we repeat this to our littlies in school ? However I think that this is true, and as an ex marathon runner of many years, I always held on to that adage …….there is always that chance ! Looking forward, we have our Christmas Party on December 14th. which should be a good night ! Our Environment Cup will be judged on Wed. Dec 7th by Ken Geddes LRPS. January 4th. gives us Carmen Norman who will talk to us on Lake District Moods, this will be by ZOOM.
It remains only for me to wish all readers a very Happy Christmas and all best wishes for 2023 and with grateful thanks to the producers of these magazines, Focus and In Focus. You do a splendid job !
