Extraordinary General Meeting
The meeting took place over Zoom to discuss the future of the club, and the committee’s proposed plan. A quorum was not met, so the meeting will need to be reheld once the season is underway, and the decisions made can be formally recorded by the active membership.
In short:
The club will continue! We will be running it differently to before, with the immediate aims to make it a more live and social group, to attract new members (and encourage previous members to rejoin), with a focus on live talks, live practical sessions and less formal competitions.
Membership will (at least until the end of 2024, possibly for the whole 2024-2025 season) be free of charge.
Please see the programme page for details of the first event of the 2024-2025 season. Guests are welcome!

Peter Benson first took us back into the early days of photography alongside his family history in photography. Then he took us on a tour around some of his favourite places for night photography in and around Central London. During this journey he gave us some hints and tips sprinkled with a bit of history about some of the places.,
Thank you Peter.

Brian Northmore gave an excellent talk on landscape photography, specifically that of Dartmoor. He illustrated the talk with superb monochrome images to which he added a detailed explanation of how he captured each one and their location on the moor.
Thank you Brian for what was a most enjoyable evening.

Richard o’ Brien gave a most interesting talk on “The power of masking in Lightroom” which was well received by the members present. He certainly gave us much useful advice which will aid the future editing of our images.
Thank you Richard for an excellent evening.

For the first talk of the new year, Derwood Pamphilon gave a presentation on his passion of photographing people and movement. He illustrated the talk with pictures of models, clothed and nude and dance, all of which were well received by the members present.
Our thanks must go to Derwood for what was an enjoyable evening.
