We are having a photographic display of members images in the Shires this Saturday (21st August). Come along and say hello, and see what our members get up to know in their free time. We would be happy to discuss anything about photography and the club, and if you like what you see, you may wish to join us when we start a new season on the 9th September. We look forward to seeing you.
I have received some sad news about a former member of the club: Michael Hayward passed away on Tuesday June 1st, he was until quite recently a prominent member of the club having joined it not long after its formation.
During his time with the club he held various offices including that of competition secretary, which he did for, I believe, about 20 years. He will be sadly missed, his funeral will be at Trowbridge Cemetery at 13/30 on July 1st.
This week is the final meeting for this season(but not quite), the format of the meeting will be follows:
A retrospective of the year presented by Nick.
Announcement of the overall competitions winners for the four projection competitions we have held this year.
The Duck Tape challenge – just a fun look at the images you have submitted on a silly subject.
A discussion on the activities we have planned for the summer break, including the some addition informal meetings we are calling “Camera Café”, the Landscape images Competition and a potential outdoor photo shoot.
A final discussion opportunity for members to give their views and suggestions on the coming season.
It is with great pleasure that we welcome back Graham Harries as our final speaker for this season. Members will no doubt recall that Graham opened our season back in September with his breath-taking images of Chernobyl. This week Graham takes us on a journey into the world of Drone Photography.
Let’s see if we can have a bit of fun at our last meeting of the season on 29th April by looking at some images members have taken with the theme ” “Unusual Uses of Duct Tape” aka Gaffer tape.
I’m sure that we get images with all the imagination and creativity we witnessed at the SPAM CHALLENGE a few months back
Please submit you images to chairman@trowbridgecc.uk
No deadline as long as we have a bit of time to collate the images before the 29th.
