The Next official meeting will be The President's Night in September. The new Syllabus will be available shortly. Any planned Summer 'Shoots' will be announced via WhatsApp, Facebook or the Website.
The Annual General Meeting was held on Thursday 5th May. Below are the main points to come out of the meeting
Steve Walker was elected as President. We wish Steve a happy and successful Presidency.
Michael Schofield was elected as Syllabus Secretary and we wish Michael every success in such an important position.
Obviously, we thank Clare for the superb job she has done as Syllabus Secretary over the last few years.
Clare was elected to the post of President Elect.
All other post holders remain the same, with the exception of Chris Mowatt who becomes Past President.
It is hoped that the vast majority of members will return in person next season and we will begin serving refreshments again.
The club is running at a loss and so after much discussion fees for the new season will rise to £45 with a weekly attendance charge of £0.50 which will also entitle members to the refreshments. Couples will pay a slightly reduced membership fee.
Members are reminded that we still need A4 images (printed edge to edge) for our summer exhibitions.
We do need a push for new members, hence the summer exhibitions, but all current members can be ambassadors for the club.
At the close of the meeting Steve presented the awards for the 2021/2022 Season. Well done to those gaining awards.
The President's Competition was held on Thursday 28th April. The subjects were Flowers and Blue. The judge was The President.
We had a great time out in Ormskirk on Thursday 21st April on our Scavenger Hunt. We had to find 12 different objects ranging from a face, which could not be our own or that of a club member, to a reflection. After about an hour we returned to the hut to view how the group had interpreted the challenges. The results were interesting. All present agreed that it had been an enjoyable evening.
Peter Gennard MFIAP, EFIAP/d1 was our guest on Thursday 14th April. Peter is a highly respected print worker and a member of Smethwick P S. His talk was entitled 'P G Tips...The Latest Brew'.
This was a print presentation in the hut and unfortunately, once again, there was no zoom. We had another good attendance in the hut with one or two guests from another local club.
As expected, the presentation was excellent with super images and an entertaining commentary.
On Thursday 7th April we held our first non zoom meeting for over two years. The attendance was excellent and it was good to socialise again. Something that we have been missing. John Hawkins was our visitor us with his print presentation entitled 'Cathedrals and Churches'.
It was good to be reminded of the days when Record photography was appreciated for the skill and patience involved. John was obviously a master of his craft and we saw some excellent images of church interiors and exteriors.

At the AGM 2014 it was agreed that any image entered into a club competition would automatically be available for the club to use in external competitions. In some extreme cases a member can withdraw an image from LCPU competitions.
Competition Rules. (amended at the AGM 2019)

A 1600 x 1200 PDI of each print entered is now required to help build up the Club's image bank.
