Hello readers, here we are at the start of our new year. During the summer, the weather has been very mixed with more rain that shine. We completed our Events programme with the Garstang ashow, again half and half, rain am and shine pm.
Our first meeting on Sept 6th was a very busy one with various presentations but no new members ! Happily, we have had a sprinkling of new blood in the past few weeks, but we still have room for more. Do come along and see what we are about, We have every level of competence within the club, all we ask is a modicum of enthusiasm, skills will come later to whatever level you want. We are a very friendly club whose members will gladly pass on their expertise.
During this month our programme is as follows, and at this point, I have to mention that our Photographer of the Year, John Moxham has let go of the reins of Programme Secretary and we have to thank him for his splendid efforts over the past years. Thank you John. Michael Orr has now gripped the reins and this augurs well for the future. Thank you Michael, we are n safe hands again.
October 4th. Harry Emmett……….Towards gaining a photographic qualification.
.. 11th. Garry Cook………………Street photography and a project in Israel
.. 18th. Judging of our first competition, the Events Cup by Nicki Greenwood.
.. 25th. Member’s Evening. ( various activities )
and in case of a late Focus:
November 1st. Boyd Harris …………….Failure and Success in the Himalayas.(some of our members may remember Sir. John Hunts expedition in ’53 when Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tensing topped out in early June )
Let’s hope for a colourful Autumn, after all, our area can be beautiful given the right conditions.
