Hello to all, members, and a hearty welcome to new members along with non- members. First of all. I would like to apologise for the incorrect title in  some copies of last months magazine. The aircraft is a Lightning/ F-35 and does not “do” regular air shows as yet. I shot this at a Family Day at R.A.F. Marham in July. Within an hour, the pilot had parked up and went on to play lead guitar at the evening gig ( he reminded me of one of my sixth form pupils ! )

Now, down to business. The summer period has seen the club involved in two new ventures. The first one invited non members /beginners, to a series of five  presentation evenings followed by practice sessions under the tuition of one of our members, Stan Pearson . I should like to thank the members who joined in on the nights to assist , the common denominator in both ventures was Stan , so a big thanks to him for the hard work and efforts ! The second was a competition for “outsiders “ to enter one digital image for judging.

Our first evening of the new year was, a very busy, but well organized one, in which the digital winners were presented with their prizes. Their efforts and success will be displayed along with our club winners for ’23-’24 which runs in the Arts Centre from September 21^st. through October.  Our first presentation the following week saw Alan Walker showing us how to get the best out of our holiday images, ably accompanied by his wife Julie.

October’s programme is as follows ;-

Oct. 2nd.  Eddie Leach live  on a mixture of Sports, Portraits and Composites.  ( live, means not zoom )

Oct. 9^th.    Steve Walker live . My personal experiences of paid photoshoots.

Oct.16^th.    First internal competition being judged. ( Amen )

Oct. 23^rd.  Bernard Rose live  on  1970s and beyond .

All meetings take place in the Arts Centre and begin at 7.30 prompt.

If you are new to the area or are the recipient of a new or oldish camera, come down to test, the water’s great ! You will be made very welcome.  ( Image title…….” don’t ask “ ! )
