The one we were all waiting for?... Our opportunity to display our ingenuity in representing sound in a picture. Amazingly only half the members attempted it and some of the entries did not meet the criteria set by the Judge, Eric Burchell. Eric did an excellent job in describing what we were looking for in these special subject competitions. In this case you needed to hear the sound coming from the picture, not imagine it. This was indeed very challenging but wonderfully achieved by our top scorers.

Storrington CC were very privileged indeed to have a talk this evening by Tony Penrose, the Son of Lee Miller. Tim Hulbert our former Programme Secretary left us with two pretty tricky set subjects this season, but to have arranged this speaker was very creditable as he was probably the best speaker the club has had in many years. One member said it was the best presentation he had ever attended.

Our first PI competition of the new season saw an excellentturnout of 81 images submitted for evaluation by our judge for the evening, a former member, Mike Davison. Mike is now a member of Chichester Camera Club, having previously been our programme secretary. He gave us a talk last year on 'Trying for an RPS Distinction' encouraging us to 'go for it'.

Our first competition of the new season attracted a high number of entries and it was gratifying to see so many of our new members entering for the first time.

Our judge for the night was Trevor Gellard FRPS, a fellow of the Royal Photographic Society, Judge, lecturer and a member of the distinctions panel at the Royal Photographic Society.

Trevor has exhibited in International exhibitions and has had several one man exhibitions. He is an active member of the Brighton and Hove Camera club and a member of the Mirage group of Photographers.

This was an evening of two halves, slide shows shown in the conventional manner and those shown with most images at 90 degrees to the norm giving some of us sore necks!

Ian McBean started the evening by showing us some mouth watering shots of Mauritius, having first showed us where in the world it is. I imagine some of us will put it on our list of places to visit one day.
