Hello to all.
We are nearing the end of what has been a very busy and successful year. The range of speakers has been quite varied and of a high quality, and we even had an image battle with a club in New Zealand, the Rangiora Photographic Society…….distance no problem ! The remaining three official calendar meetings take place in the first half of May.
May 3rd…….Members Presentation by Stan Pearson on Local Sports.
.. .. 10th ……Our Annual General Meeting
.. .. 17th……..The Presentation Evening , on which, after a meal, the winners of the Cups and Certificates will be awarded. Our Guest of Honour this year is Mr. David Pearson who was in the Club from it’s inception, and holds the membership no. 1 . He will present the awards.
On Thursday May 11th. we are meeting up with Morecambe Camera Club as a joint venture. They will visit us in the first instance and join us in twos/threes to walk around Garstang looking for image opportunities. This will be reciprocated later in Summer at Heysham Village.
During our “closed season” we have five outings known as the Events Cup in which images taken from any or all of these visits can be entered in our first internal competition. The second of these visits takes place on May 9th. at Cleveleys, incorporating the sea front , the town and the Fleetwood Wrecks. I have to apologise for missing the first one, a visit to Kendal, since the venue and dates were only finalized after the last copy of the Focus went to print. Ah well………..the best laid plans of mice……. etc !
Yet another project under way, is supplying The Arts Centre with a number of images of Garstang from which they will pick 12. These will take the form of a calendar which will be published in early Summer to be sold in an attempt to raise funds for the Arts Centre.
Even though the ’22-’23 season has finished, I shall still be reporting each month to keep in touch with information.
Enjoy the late Spring and what I hope will be a good Summer. Happy Shooting !
Maurice Barker.
