Busy busy. But I would just to say that Frank and I went to the SLF Finals Day on Saturday 210412 and had a very good day. One of Franks prints At My Own Pace had been entered into the Keith Johnson Trophy and was held back for a final viewing on the day. Well done to Frank on that achievement. We hope to be having some more small outings now the warmer days are here. Regards Alan Hutchings 2012-4-22 09:19:23 http://www.mitchamcameraclub.co.uk/page15.htm#110265 Welcome back to the world of cameras and photography. Our first slide competition of the new year will be judged by a panel of members. This is a diversion from our normal procedures but is not unknown to us as we do judge some minor competitions ourselves already. If this works and I am sure it will then it is something that we can continue with. Dont forget our Annual Dinner at Park Place being organised by Pam. Please watch your emails for further details. Next week we have another lecture on Wrens Churches by Ian Bevan one not to be missed.

The judge was Marieange Bouchard a relatively new judge on the circuit. It was generally thought that Marieange brought a refreshing change to some of the more staid judges. Her approach was open to all subject matters and also both constructive and objective in the critique made. 2010-10-31 20:57:24 http://www.mitchamcameraclub.co.uk/page15.htm#78710 There is hoped to be another Annual Dinner again. The date has not yet been fixed but will be in January 2011 as normal. If anyone would like to take on the task of orgnising this I would be most welcome to hand over the reigns on it and of course give as much help as I can. Regards Alan 2010-10-25 12:25:08
