For any one with photos for the exhibition and wanting to know the size of the boards the dimensions in inches is 44 x 45 and in centimetres 112 x 114
Our next meeting is on wednesday 23rd of September where we will have the photo of the month competition .The theme is b&w and the subject is left open so it can contain any subject . We are hoping to have as many photos as is possible so that we can take from these images and add one or two more for future panels such as the national shield . The photos will be judged on the night . Also we have a work shop on the night on B & W to be given by Dom . The workshop will be on how to take b&w photos and methods of converting from colour to b&w, any members with photos that might want them converted can bring them in on a flash drive / disk and Dom will show us a couple of ways of doing so, we will try and do as many as we can. Doors open at 7.30 on the night for tea and a chat before the meeting starts at 8 o clock .

The club are trying to get a panel of images ready for this event. Any member that has not got a distinction can enter images so will members new and old start bringing in photos so we can gather them and start to make up the two panels . One panel will be in colour and the second will be black and white. We entered the shield last year and did quite well but with the standard of the images coming into the club we know we can improve on this.This is a great chance to show our work and to judge our work against other clubs.So please start bringing in photos as soon as possible .
