Following last years successful summer exhibition the Committee has decided to do it all over again. The exhibition will be held in the Town Hall, the same venue as last year and the date will be 11-12 August. What does that mean to you? It means it is time to start preparing your prints for entering in the show. Any subject, any size, black and white or colour and manipulated or not. The choice is up to you. With your help we can make it bigger and better than last years. So what are you waiting for?
I often feel at this time of year that I am on an express train racing toward the end of the season with the AGM coming up fast. It’s this time of year when, not only will the present Committee start working on their speeches but they start looking for new members to join them. If you feel you would like to put your name forward to be a Committee member, or even just to help out, please talk to Kevin, or any other Committee member, as soon as possible. All it takes is a willingness to give up a short period of time each month and you will get that lovely feeling of wellbeing.

Our next meeting on Monday 14th May begins with an outdoor photoshoot at Pagham Harbour Nature Reserve. We plan to meet there from around 6.30 pm and take advantage of the many photographic opportunities there are to be had in the late afternoon light from the various hides and saltmarsh locations. We will then adjourn to our usual meeting place at St Wilfrid's Church Hall at 8.30 pm for a welcome cup of tea / coffee and an opportunity to view and discuss one another's photographic results via the club's projector.
 Please remember to begin the evening with an empty SD card in your camera to save Tony Tomlinson from having to trawl through all your holiday snaps, and anything else you've been photographing recently, in order to find your Pagham Harbour shots !
In the event of very inclement weather, we will meet in the hall at the usual time for an evening of RPS images.

Having listened to our members over the last season we have decided to introduce an extra evening once a month. This extra evening will be entirely devoted to hands on tutorials and workshops. We will still hold our regular club evenings so there is no need to worry there. What the committee would like to know is what do you want these extra evenings to cover? Some of our ideas are to meet as a group and photograph around the village say using just F2.8 to learn more about depth of field or photoshop tutorials where we take your image and as a group look at different ways of enhancing and manipulating it. It is expected that these tutorials will be free but where we need to utilise the hall there will be a nominal charge to cover the costs involved. Contact Tony on 01243 603616 with your suggestions or email him tony@lemonsplashphotography.com .
