Social and prize giving this Thursday

 Last weeks super fun practical meeting resulted around 40+ of us descending on the streets of the St Annes area in a bid to get photographs to fit the 5 themes we were left by Ruth. The local people were seriously disturbed by us geeky camera carrying brigade and I hear there were a few funny remarks made. Although a few locals were game to helping us out as you will see in the images in a couple of weeks, even the wildlife and teddy bears came out to play and we were treat to a nice sunset as well. I cant wait to see the results. Many thanks to Julie Coombs for helping to arrange the photo rally.

 We have one sneak peek image, taken on the same evening, Myk must have taken an extra card along I think.

This week we have yet another evening of fun scheduelled, but not at the school as per usual, this time we are meeting at the Langton court pub for a night of skittles and prize giving. There will be food provided to give you that extra little bit of energy to play hard at skittles.

I hope you have all had a chance to get and about in this gorgeous weather with your cameras. I see Andro and Myk certainly managed to capture a lovely sunset at Clevedon and another group of us were out photographing in the beautiful evening light yesterday in south Gloucestershire.  So dont think you have to go out on your own, if you want to team up with others from the group then do shout up at the meetings, or on the Flickr or facebook pages.

And the Winners are……

This Thursday is our Annual Social & Prize Giving evening. We get to have a few drinks, embarrass ourselves at Skittles and mingle with all the friends we’ve made at the club. It’s a great night and you should definitely come along. If it’s not really your thing, still come along. You’ll be made to feel more than welcome and I’m sure you’ll have a great time. As well as the Social side of it we’ll also be announcing the winners of our Annual Open Competition.

You get to find out who has won Photographer of the Year, Best Digital Photographer and Best Print Photographer. Not forgetting for the first time in Several years we have brought back our Best Novice Photographer award. Don’t forget we also have to give Arthur & Alison their Trophies for winning the Stan Scantlebury & John Hankin Shield Competitions.

So if you’ve been desperate to know whose won or think you need to clear a bit of space on a shelf for one or two of the trophies, make sure to come along on Thursday and enjoy our very own award’s show.
