Last night we had the 'Mix 'n' Match' competition with Steyning and Southwick Camera clubs, held at the Steyning centre. We were in the smaller of the halls but we all squeezed in without a problem. Unfortunately it was badly attended by our club members, only eight of us, by far the smallest number of supporters.
Anyway, we had a lively time and a lot of laughs barracking the poor judge Mike Chambers from Eastbourne CC.; We have a great relationship with Steyning in particular as several of us regularly support their events and outings and have done over several years.
We had a big problem with the club laptop again which refused to co-operate on more than two occasions and this held everyone up, not that they were too worried. We have a committee meeting tonight and I am going to suggest that we spend some of our savings on a new laptop with Windows 7 before next season.
In spite of this problem we held our ends up and finished second behind Steyning, (although our scorer had us winning!). However, in the right spirit we did not raise an objection, which would have been impossible to verify anyway. Our selection team, Chairman Di and Anne Nagle, decided to go for good quality images and fewer 'quirky' ones and this policy certainly paid off as we won best image of the three many times.
A very good evening was had by all.
