General Notes from the Secretary
Another successful evening, this time with Don Mitchell and our abstract entries. Again a good entry of fifty odd prints to judge. Interesting that he did it by spot judging, i.e., the first time he saw the prints was the evening he did the judging. No mean achievement I think. There certainly were some interesting and innovative images and slides to look at and I think his judgements were fair and in keeping with the spirit of what we try to achieve in “set subject” competitions.

General Notes from the Secretary
Our last competition gave us the largest number of entries we have had for some years for our judge John Holmes to look at. To my surprise he managed to get through the judging with a margin of time to spare, gave some good technique pointers even though his comments on the winning images were a little sparse. The winning images did not need too much comment anyway as they all were of such high quality. Each competition we seem to have more and more excellent pictures.

General Notes from the Secretary
As you will read in Derek’s report we are the best camera club in the West Sussex area, having beaten all the big guns such as Chichester, Littlehampton, Steyning and six other photographic societies by a very good margin in the annual Regnum Print Competition. The prints used were authored by Derek Grieve, Ian MacWhirter, Paul Hayward and Martin Tomes. The prints were chosen by members of your committee as representing some of the best images seen during many of the previous competitions that had achieved a score of 18 or better.

General Notes from the Secretary
First of all please let me apologise for being absent for the third meeting as well as the second. I had an unexpected duty call from Switzerland (where I am writing this) in the form of baby sitting, where my grandchildren live, and I could not refuse as it concerned my daughter in law’s 40th birthday, swimming with dolphins in Egypt.
I understand that Paul did a fine job as Chairman on both occasions I was away, so thank you Paul, and a job well done.

General Notes from the Secretary
Another eventful year culminating in an excellent end of year roll up with the “best print of the year”. Considering that we are a club with a small membership I think we have done extremely well and the quality of all our work is of the highest standard. Congratulations to Ian, Martin and Sue on their achievements in the final competition, and especially to Sue who has come from a raw “enprint” shooter a couple of years ago to now being a force to recon with. Watch out Ian, Martin and Derek!!
