CLUB NEWS

Club Event 11th March 2025
Still Life – Practical Evening


What an amazing and fun evening was had by all at the last club night, which was a practical still life evening.

I must confess to not having been looking forward to it, as I’ve not previously been a fan of practical evenings. However I have now been converted !


Chatting with everyone who attended, it turns out others were also a little apprehensive about attending, but everyone loved it.


We mingled and chatted. We tried things we might not otherwise have done. Some members were totally absorbed with their cameras, whilst others just watched and learned.


What was really valuable though, was the opportunity to chat, to get to know each other better and also to help each other with camera issues.


Bob remarked with a smile:
“This is just like the old days”
(…which I took as favourable feedback from our Honorary President) !


So, those who attended, had a slightly different, but really rewarding evening. Those who weren’t able to attend missed a great night.


As a Committee, we had already been discussing whether or not to include practical evenings next season. This one went so well, I suspect we will be doing some more.


Therefore please don’t miss our next one (…even if you only come to watch and learn). We already have ideas for making the next one even more interesting.
