This was the best attended first night of SCC since I joined the club in 2000. Over 30 people came to our first night back with Jane Coward our treasurer working flat out taking subscriptions from 27 members including 4 new recruits.
Sunday afternoon found us meeting in Sainsbury's carpark, Horsham for one of our photo walks.
The weather shone on the righteous as ever, and a pleasant walk was enjoyed by all who attended.
One thing after another. First the visit to the British Wildlife centre, followed a week later by the Annual Exhibition, followed yet another week on by the Barbeque.
Fourteen members of the club (strictly 13 plus a wife) visited the British Wildlife Centre at Lingfield arriving at about 9.30am for a 'cuppa' before a briefing about what we could expect to see during our visit.
Eric Burchell joined us again to judge the final print competition of the season. Not as controversial as some of our judges this season, in fact he was very generous with his marking, 2x15s, 10x16s, 14x17s, 9x18s, 5x19s, 6x20s.
It would appear that birds of all varieties were his favourite subject of the night, but out of left field came Jane Coward with her Funnel Web Spider Boy who triumphed on the night. Eric commented that capturing the moment was all important and that to avoid “record” pictures for competition.
