Haydn Bartlett had the task of judging the first round of the Clubman competition. Round 1 had the set subject of Street Life. Haydn tackled the task with enthusiasm and was able to provide the authors with many useful feedback points for them to take into the next round.

Haydn was clear from the start that he was looking mainly at composition and the use of light.

Pictured are his first and second placed images...
Congratulations to all those photographers who entered such a wonderful variety of imagery.

Our next meeting is on Monday 9th December – Ann

Our next meeting is on Monday 9th December – Annual General Meeting – it is an indispensable part of our activities for the year. It is tonight when we receive reports from our officers and we learn how the finances are doing. All the officers and committee are up for election (or re-election) and the members have the chance to vote on the people who will fulfil the roles.
It may sound quite dry but there’s a lot of information about your club and how it is run, and a genuine chance to get involved.
-
Afterwards, for all those that wish to do so, we intend to adjourn to the Aagraar Indian restaurant across the road so why not come along and have a say in how your club is run!
