| Annual Exhibition 2008 | |||||
| Members will be aware that the “Handing In” date for the Exhibition is the 1st meeting of 2008 on 8th January. This initiates the long process of assembling the lists, taking the images to the judge, collecting them back (hopefully only two to three weeks later!), sorting out the arrangement of prints on the stands (and confirming which to leave out) designing and printing the Catalogue. We have agreed that Prints will again be for sale on the Friday (if individuals so wish). As last year it is likely that members will be asking from between £5 (production costs) and £40 (great artistic merit!!).As last year the Club retains a 20% commission!) So the Catalogue will include the asking price( or NFS). It would help if members could email me with their entry titles and the asking price. This saves me some typing, and helps ensure I read the titles correctly. (Thus this applies to slides also). To the public it is an Exhibition, and as such, prints will carry labels indicating the title and author. Internally, of course it is also a club competition. The results of the competition will be in the catalogue. The catalogue is therefore an important source of information, to be sought by most people, and it is on this basis that we invite people to advertise in the catalogue. The rate is £50 per half A5 page, and I would encourage all members to consider whom we might approach to advertise in the catalogue. You will be aware that the Raffles help us to cover costs, and in the past members have been generous with unwanted bottles of Whisky, Brandy etc left over from Christmas Festivities. I hope you will all continue to support the raffle. (Let myself, or Hilary or Brian Turnbull know that you expect to contribute) The Basic Programme of events is: 13th Feb Wednesday afternoon: Put up the Exhibition.

Wednesday evening: Inter-Club Digital Print competition judged by Keith Suddaby 14th Feb Thursday evening Interclub Digital image knockout competition judged by Jack Bamford 15th Feb Friday evening Musical evening with Poynton High School Concert Band and Fosbrook Folk Plus sale of prints.

[Fortunately, the public are more discerning than judges, and although you may not have received a Commendation, some member of the public present may take a liking to one of your prints and buy it.] Bill Chadband (Exhibition Co-ordinator) |
