| It’s
nearly the end of the club year for the Ivybridge &
District Camera Club and on Tuesday 4th December members
held their Annual General Meeting followed on the same
evening by the Best of Year competition.
The AGM was used
to approve a number of rules, mostly to cover new competitions
introduced in the current year, and these involved some
discussion but even so the meeting was still wrapped
up in about 90 minutes.
Bob Pike from South
Brent retired from the committee and two new members
were welcomed on board - Sylvia Wilson and Neil Doggett.
The remainder of the committee were happy to be re-elected
en bloc on a proposal from Alf Couch.
The Best of Year
competition is always an exciting time and this year
was no exception with around a dozen members competing
in this final leg.
The selection was
by members’ voting slips. Keith Miller from Ivybridge
won Best Slide of the Year with his meerkat image "What's
Over There", while Neil Doggett, also from Ivybridge
won the Best Monochrome Print of the Year with his wide-open
cat mouth image entitled "Beware of the Cat".
Bernard Howley from Saltash secured the Best Colour
Print of the Year place with his Venice image "The
Grand Canal" and Keith Mason from Ivybridge took
the very first Best Digitally Projected Image of the
Year award with his "Monarch Butterfly" image.
The first meeting
of 2008 will be a digitally projected image competition
on January the 8th and on January 15th members will
be viewing and selecting entries for the inter-club
digitally projected competition. Visitors are always
welcome at Bittaford Community Hall from 7:30pm. Our
programme, members’ photographs and much more
are all available elsewhere on this website.
The winning four
entries will shortly be dispayed on this website at
the top of the Members' Photographs page.
