Our apologies to Mandy, Ricky and Kelly re our failure to communicate after the display. Our systems are not perfect but you are on the list now.  I hope that Therese Morris is now receiving the updates.

We congratulate those members who contributed photos. for the Seymour Garden Show and thank Kim for delivering them and Ann for collecting them. The composite presentations were awarded 1st and 2nd. prizes.

A new date is to be fixed recommended not before  April 27/28. Be aware we have another outing planned for May so we need to avoid close proximity of the dates.Please advise any preferences.

FEBRUARY 2013 OUTING TO AMELIA RISE DONKEYS

Six club members attended the February outing to Amelia Rise Donkeys, www.ameliarisedonkeys.com, and experienced and very pleasant couple of hours with these delightful animals. There were many great “portrait” opportunities available; a small selection is shown below.

Look at me!

These donkeys were extremely well socialised and enjoyed our copious touching, caressing stroking and generally getting a big fix of relaxation. We all agreed that these unassuming little animals could have such a calming influence. WE WILL BE BACK!

List here mate!

6. Junior Camera Club

The camera club received a grant to run a junior camera club course for 1 year. It was a substantial grant with which we purchased cameras, printers, photographic paper and lighting equipment. Most of this has remained in the cupboard since the cessation on the course. While we have some ideas, we would appreciate your thoughts how we might further stimulate interest in junior photgraphy and extract better value out of our grant.

After all this we plan to go outside for a practical shoot in low light -bring your cameras and tripods and flashes.

Something for everyone

DON'T MISS IT!!!
