Committee Meeting Wed 4 March 2009
The Annual Exhibition had gone well and had made a small profit despite the lack of sponsors. The Raffle had produced £293 and was a vital part of our income. It was suggested that next year we should limit ourselves to 6 Prints and 6 Projected images (Slides or Digital) per member. The Inter-club competition nights were star features of the exhibition and enhanced our standing in the L&CPU. Tony had written to thank all clubs who took part. Jill Hargreaves has booked the Library exhibition space for the Start of Session Aug 24 to Sept 12 and the Start of the Exhibition Jan 25 to Feb 13 2010. The Exhibition dates next year are Wed 10 Feb to Fri 12 Feb 2010.
Joyce Streets was concerned that the same (best few) members provided images for interclub competitions. To widen the pool she suggested we should have some interclub competitions with say 20 images from 20 different members. This is now in hand.
The Keswick Weekend would be on Fri 6 and Sat 7 November. The judge had already been chosen. Tony Rosevere was standing down as Membership Sec at the AGM.
Barry led a discussion on Computing and the Web site. To allow people to communicate with us without broadcasting an email address he was looking into “email by forms” It was agreed that we could broadcast our Secretary’s telephone number since it was already in the L&CPU literature. Barry was also testing the speed with which the Web Site was downloaded. Agreed that we should include a presentation on using the WEB site in a future meeting. The next committee meeting was set for April 29th.
