newsletter-2009-1

The committee met last night to go over the new seasons programme for 2009/10 and a good one it looks too.  Don’t forget we have a stand at Driffield show with information about the club on and our Summer Exhibition is the 30th July and the 1st August in the Maple room at the Bell Hotel Driffield.  Hope to see you there.

Our AGM is to be held in the maple room of the Bell Hotel, Driffield at 7:30pm on the 11th May.  all welcome.

Well, the first month and a bit have gone already.  I was hoping to produce one of these newsletters each month but this one is already too late.  Never mind, here goes for number two.

Starting with the 20^th October we have a change of judge for the 2000 trophy, our digital colour print competition.  Unfortunately Bob Crowe from Bridlington is not well enough to do it so Vice Chairman Tony McLean has stepped up to the mark and agreed to give us the benefit of his judging skills.  I’m sure he will do a great job and will be able to justify his opinions if he doesn’t choose my set as winner!!

The following Monday, (27^th) Tony is on holiday and Ernie will be delivering Milne 1 photographs on the only night he has available that week.  Their talk on Photoshop will therefore happen later.   We have however re-scheduled Alan Curtis to present his talk on Postcard Photography which he couldn’t give us in September.

On Friday 31^st a group of DPS will be presenting a night at Malton in return for the night they gave us last year.  If anyone wants to come along and support us (we need some friendly faces in the audience) talk to one of the committee members or organise your own transport.

On the 3^rd of November we have the first round of the Milne Cup and Trophy competitions, a three round running fight. The judge is a photographer called Daren Smith from Cherry Burton who has some lovely stuff on Flickr and this summer had an exhibition of monochrome prints at the National Park centre in Hawes.  He is also presenting an evening of wet process monochrome prints for us on December 1^st, definitely not a night to miss!

On the 6^th and 7^th of November we have two external competitions at New Earswick and Beverley (details from Pete Boyes). And on Monday the 10^th we have another speaker, John Horton from Kilham, who is giving us an evening of wildlife photography with the emphasis on birds.

On November 17^th we are experimenting with a Novice Cup for new members and members who have never come in the top 3 of any competition before.  The rules are printed on the other side of this newsletter.  This was one of the requests which came out of last year’s questionnaire and we are hoping for a good entry. Entries should be in by 3^rd November please.

The last Monday of November sees the Arnold English Trophy for sequences which will be judged on the night and the Ringrose for a set of five DPIs on set subjects which last years winner Roy is judging.

We hope that you will be able to find something in this lot to entertain and instruct you, if not, complain to the committee!!
