Roger Crocombe ARPS returned to us to give us a very detailed and well prepared talk on how we should approach any subject that we want to photograph by preparing ourselves in advance in a structured way. He showed us a series of slides showing the procedures which I will not try to repeat here as Roger said that he would make his talk available with slides on our website.
We were all sat round tables with about four of us at each with a set of forms which we then went on to complete as the evening went on. I felt like I was back at school especially as the evening progressed and the children became more and more noisy!
After Roger had run through his slides showing us the procedure we had to do a series of tasks starting with a brainstorming session where we all had to put our ideas for our next set subject competition 'The Ordinary Made Exraordinary' on 'post-its'.
This is when the noise started to kick off! From all our ideas we then had to agree on the best of our suggestions to build on, and so it progressed wth each team having to reveal its plan. The most bizarre was for 'a Camel train to be crossing a Viaduct', so look out Chessington Zoo!
The whole evening got everyone thinking and talking to each other with a lot of laughter and was thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Roger had very obviously spent a great deal of time preparing his presentation so our sincere thanks to him for his hard work on our behalf.
