I'm Sorry I missed the first meeting of the season. Hopefully it was an eventful evening.

Here's what's coming up next week, and a couple of recaps articles.

Guest Speaker

Rebecca Entwistle – ‘A Judge’s Perspective'

Tuesday, 23 September·7:30 – 9:30pm

Next week's meeting is a presentation from Rebecca Entwistle.

Rebecca will give us an insight into how judges approach a competition and how judges are themselves selected. After the break club members have the opportunity to try judging for themselves. 

Members Evening

The first Members’ evening is Sept 30th. We have a number of  members who have volunteered to do a session: David Higton - Underwater, Chris - Chance Encounters, to mention a couple Thanks guys! Feel free to do up to 20 mins each if you can. 👌. There may be space for one or two more if there are any volunteers. Otherwise, perhaps we can discuss what else the members would like to use these evenings for 😊. Fiona

Project Group

The first project group meeting will be on October 7th.

Project Group theme is Rain and/or What I did during the Summer.

1. 'Up to 10 images from the Summer’ - this is a wide open theme, apart from selected holiday pictures, consider other successes, failures, what went wrongs, what should I have done in this situation? etc. In fact any image that can be admired, talked about or learned from.

2.‘Rain’ Hopefully it should arrive here again at some time , or, where did you go to find it? and how do you photograph it ?? Remember its not a competition, but taking part can often lead to Competition entries. I hope you all have a good Summer.

WPC Club Sweatshirt

This season we will have a club sweatshirt available for members, featuring our club logo embroidered on the front.  We’ll be taking orders at the first two meetings and I’ll then send off a bulk order.

The sweatshirts are in sky blue and are £17.00 each, which includes a small contribution to club funds.  There’s a size chart below, and I’ll be modelling the latest WPC fashion at our first meeting of the season!  I’m also hoping to bring a few sample garments along for people to try on for size.

Next Season's Competitions

Here are the themes for next season's competition as supplied by David Hardy (Competition Secretary)

People - Mono

Reflections - Colour - Print

Within 20 Miles of Home - Mono

Nature/Animals - Colour (pets and Zoo included)

Architecture - Mono - Print

Composite - Colour (From as simple as a texture to as complicated as you like)

These are ideas that I have had. They are by no means a final list. If you have any other ideas please let David know otherwise this will be the list for next season.
