 An Evening With
Susanne Durie ARPS - 30th Jan
Fresh from her
ARPS achievement, Susanne visits from The Valleys with tales &
images from
her world of Photography.
Doubtless her doting Mum & Dad will be cheering her on from the
front row!
(Bring entries for Annual Digital Competition)
Annual General Meeting - 6th Feb
Things that affect your club will no doubt, over the
next 12 months, affect you too - so rather than seeing this as
an excuse to sit at home with your feet up, come along & air any
views you may have & vote for issues / changes etc in how the
club will operate over the next year.
Ask not only what your club can do for you, but also
what you can do for your club!
Annual Digital Competition - 13th Feb
The night when the best of
the best from the year's projected images come together with a
fair smattering of new, unseen work too, and battle it out for
the big one! Judge is Marilyn Shenton.
Eyes Right...
Guest speaker on the 30th January is Susanne Durie, and
she kindly allowed the use of this beautiful image of
Loch Lomond in Scotland.

About On The Water
With the mutually agreed time
giving just a short break in the weather, President's Pals
stayed local and nipped to Stanley Ferry this week. There were new tripods
and lenses to be tested so it looks like Santa had been kind
this year. Stanley Ferry was the same old Stanley Ferry but
Peter, Malcolm, Steve and Steve enjoyed being out in the sun
with friends - plus, a special guest appearance...click here for more.
 Annual
Print Competition Results
Ernie Jackson had the job of sorting the winners from 50-odd
excellent prints on show, heaping praise where due & letting down gently
those that didn't quite make it - a style of judging that went a long
way towards sending most home happy enough.

366 Days Of Wakefield Cathedral

Cathedral) in 2013 & in the build-up to it they're inviting people to
photograph aspects of it on every day of this year...you can get
involved -
click here for the relevant website & all details.
New Competitions Coming Up
...2012 will see the introduction of a new event in the club in
the form of a themed monthly online digital competition.
It's one shot per member, to be submitted to the webmaster by a given
date each month...all images are then displayed for about a week before
the winner is announced at the end of the month. The twist is that the
judge will be the winner of the previous month's comp - he/she also
names the coming month's theme but is not allowed entry to the comp
he/she has set. Sizing's not important - I'll do all that here to fit
the webpage (but make it at least 750 pixels in width, preferably jpeg).
Right, if that's got the juices flowing, here we go...first subject is
"MOVEMENT" and entries must reach me (on disc/mem stick or email
to wellerchap@talktalk.net - you choose) by 20th Feb 2012 - Good luck!

Club Weekend Away, 2012 Announced
A weekend away to the fair city of Chester has been arranged for
the last weekend in April. For those not able to go for the whole weekend, the annual
outing has also been arranged to coincide with a trip on the Sunday to
Chester Zoo. David Jones has kindly listed all major points...click
here to open the pdf file outlining the weekend's activities.
The Nuts & Bolts Of Club Membership
Club Secretary David Kershaw has penned an outline of where you
as a member slot into the bigger picture - breaking down into
understandable chunks the Club's place in the photographic world, awards
you can attain & hopefully sheds light on some of the initials & strange
competition names etc that crop up time and again on club nights, but
perhaps you were too scared to ask about!
It's a document that involves us all, so
click here and hopefully attain enlightenment!

Pages
There's no pressure to submit any of your work for the club's
site, but it's a good way to break the ice & air some of your
stuff...go on, send me a few images and a bit of scribble about
your photographic experiences! |
