On the 3rd of June we have a Members' evening for Panels
The idea is that club members should create and bring along a panel of between 2 and 5 photos which would be mounted or stuck on our standard 500 x 400 mount board. The photos can be any size but must have a linked theme so that they hold together as a panel. There is no set theme, it's the member's choice.
Vince Pentecost pointed out at our last print competition that the standard mount size has been metricated !
The standard maximum size for mounts is now 500x400mm, or 19.7 x 15.7 inches, slightly smaller than the 20x16 inch size previously used
The print competition guidance has been updated accordingly
At the AGM on 4th February, presentations were made to :
Peter Wyles, winner of the Photographer of the Year award for Print competitions
Sue Vernon, winner of the prize for the Online competitions
Full competition placings are available here
At the AGM on 4th February, our main charity fundraiser Mary Oliver received a certificate of thanks and a plant in appreciation of her efforts for the Midland Air Ambulance in 2018
Our chosen charity for 2019 is the E.L.Y. memorial fund.
The sole purpose of E.L.Y is to offer a one-off payment towards funeral costs for families in Herefordshire if they lose a son or daughter between the ages 17 to 25 in a road traffic accident.
It was set up in memory of Emma Louise Young, who was killed in a road accident in 2010.
On 3rd December Mary Oliver presented a total of £1600 to Mary Seldon representing Midlands Air Ambulance.
Thanks to Mary and to all the club members involved in generating this excellent total for this worthy cause.
Thanks also go to Mary Seldon for taking the time to visit and to explain the work of the Air Ambulance.
