We will hold another competition night at the hut on Thursday 28th March. The titles are OPEN 5 and Animals. This is our last competition of the season apart from the President's Competitions, the titles for which are 'Movement' and 'Something beginning with A'.
Another of the L&CPU Folios was at the hut on Thursday 21st March. This was another chance for us to look at some of the best prints that were submitted to the L&CPU competitions last year.
We had an interesting evening on Thursday 14th March when the Reptiles made a return appearance. There was a variety of snakes, a lizard and a stick insect available to try our hand at photographing. The evening went extremely well with members having plenty of opportunities to get close up to these amazing animals.
Our own member, Michael Schofield, entertained us on Thursday 7th March.
His wildlife images from his trip to Costa Rica were excellent, especially some of the brightly coloured birds. His gentle humorous commentary added to a very enjoyable evening.
Meanwhile, a small delegation from the club took our print entry to Formby for the North Mersey Print Challenge, By a considerable margin, OCC were the eventual winners and also our members' prints took the first three places. Well done to Michael, David and Bob.

Roger Hance FRPS was our guest on Thursday 29th February. The title for the evening was 'Photography in the UK- Tips and Tricks.' Roger is a highly respected photographer with numerous acceptances in external competitions and he treated us to a wonderful evening of natural history photography. As well as his superb images, he showed how he obtained those images and made it sound simple, which, of course, it isn't. However, may be some of us will be inspired to try out some of his tips and tricks,
Just a reminder....Membership fees are now due and can be paid on the night via a card reader, in cash, by cheque or if you wish, by bank transfer. Bank details are available.
Our AGM was held on Thursday 4th May at 7.45 pm and we were pleased to welcome so many members to the Hut. It was our second best attendance of the season. Thank you to all those who made the effort to attend.
We cannot let this update pass, without thanking Henry Mullarkey for his sterling work as club treasurer, a post he has held for many years. Ian Shard has kindly agreed to take on the role as treasurer and we wish him every success as he takes over from Henry.
Please check the list of officials for other slight changes that were made during the AGM.
The AGM was followed by the Presentation of Awards. Congratulations to all and especially to our newer members who gained awards.
