This evening started with a few announcements:
- Julia is stepping down as club chairperson
- Lesley is considering nominating herself for chairperson next year
- Other members should consider nominating themselves for the role of chairperson
- We need volunteers/nominations for club secretary before June 19th (AGM)
We then discussed the exhibition. The footfall was the highest we have ever seen at almost 1000 people in two days. Helen requested members who had sold prints (for which the club had taken payment via the SumUp machine) to send her their bank details so she can pay them.
The sale of cards was a great success and many thanks to Caroline for organising this.
Suggestions (some from visitors to the exhibition) were:
- A note be added to image labels to say if a card was available
- We need to think about the display of cards, which was a bit limited
- Prints displayed nearer the walls seem to get less attention because of crowds
- Consider hiring an extra room
Next year's exhibition will again be held over the May Bank Holiday weekend, so members should make a note in their diaries.
We followed with David Sage, ARPS (of our own parish) giving part 2 of his talk entitled "This and That", a journey through his photographic career.
