The weather forecast was a bit uncertain, but in the event it turned out to be perfect for our summer tea party This year it was held at Chairman Janet and her lovely husband Dave’s beautiful garden. On one occasion when visiting, maybe a few years back, I looked out of the back of their house and their garden, which is average in width, but very long, looked a touch wild (very good for wildlife!).
The attendance was not huge for our last meeting of the season and two important members who were awarded cups were sadly absent.
The cups were awarded early in the meeting and the recipients were as follows:
Club chair Janet Brown welcomed back Andrew Mills ARPS who had talked to us in February about “What makes a good picture”, so the night would be really interesting, would he live up to his own criteria? Janet explained that we were particularly grateful as Andrew had stepped in due to the unavailability of Walter Benzie through ill health and we wished Walter well.
Our chairman Janet Brown welcomed Rob White LRPS on his revisit to the club, highlighting his interest in underwater and astrophotography.
Yesterday afternoon seven members of SCC went to Burgess Hill for the Sussex Federation Print competition.
Ken Scott was in charge and ran the whole event like clockwork. Crawley CC assisted the Federation officials on the day before, and on the day itself, providing the refreshments amongst other jobs. Ken is firstly a very dedicated family man and secondly he is ‘Mr Sussex Photography’.
