Dear All,
Are you up to date with the moving news in AV circles, or are you interested in knowing more, the Council is aware that there is a growing interest in AV both within and surrounding the Federation,
if you are interested; we would like your help on the Council. Can you spare an evening every month during the club season? Would you like to get more involved, and find out more about photography above the camera club level? Or just to keep an ear to the ground and feedback to us on what is happening, and perhaps move the fed forward with the interest of AV.
The Southern Photographic Federation Council, needs more help, to serve both your club and other clubs in the area.
Many people and council members have given a lot of time this year and previously, you have a chance now to show your own gratitude, by sharing the workload.
As they say, many hands make light work, you can take on as much or as little as you would like to. However, we do need new members to join, if we are to continue with all our responsibilities, and the events we host. We ask only for your time and enthusiasm; the cost of your travel to meetings will be covered by the agreed SPF rate travel expenses; and there is always help and guidance on hand from more experienced council members.
Make this spring a time to change, step forward, and offer your help. Everyone is welcome, even if you would like to help with an event - but not join the council, please let us know.
There are several roles on the Council, where we are hoping that someone will come forward and shadow the current officer, so that they can share the knowledge, and workload.
We are definitely looking for someone who is prepared to take on the role of Treasurer, Roy Lambeth has done an excellent job, I am sure you will all agree, and he will remain on Council in another role, but he has left the role of treasurer in a wonderful position, and everything is clearly set out.
All positions on the Council (excluding past President) are open for nomination at the AGM on Tuesday 24th May 2011 in Littleton. If possible we would like to have nominations on or before the 3rd May, with a completed nomination form attached. All nominations received by this date will be put on the SPF website, and any positions that have more than one candidate will be balloted by the clubs attending the AGM, but all nominations received up to the moment of ballot at the AGM will not be rejected.
We really do need your support. Please contact a member of the Council if you would like to know more, there is a list of positions on the website, and you can find out more information about the council. http://www.southernfed.org.uk/contact.htm
We look forward to welcoming you onto the SPF Council.

Derek Bunyard: "Composition in Art and Photography"
Wednesday 27th April 2011 at Fordingbridge Camera Club
Derek’s talk will be on 27th April. He is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Winchester. A couple of years ago, Derek gave us a talk on the ‘History of Photographic Art’ and for a number of us, it was among the best presentations of recent years. Many of us wander into photography with little knowledge of its history and the great photographers of the past. Derek has a great depth of knowledge of both photography and art and on this occasion we have asked him to compare composition in both art forms. If you have artist friends, why not invite them along. It should be a fascinating evening.
Admission only £3.

SUMMER WALK 2011
MARTIN DOWN BUTTERFLY WALK
Monday July 4th 2011
We propose to visit Martin Down Nature Reserve, off the A354 Salisbury-Blandford road, for this year’s summer walk. We intend to meet at the Martin Down car park on the A354 at 6.00pm. The car park is on the left, about 1 mile after the end of the short dual carriageway, approx. 4 miles beyond Coombe Bissett, coming from the Salisbury direction.Martin Down has extensive walks and a variety of habitats and should offer good photographic possibilities, assuming the weather offers a pleasant summer evening. The Fox and Goose at Coombe Bissett offers the possibility of a drink and a chat on the return journey, unless anyone has a better alternative suggestion!
Richard Ramsay will be leading us.

From the SPF President to all Members
Dear All,
Can you spare an evening every month/six weeks during the club season? Would you like to get more involved, and find out more about photography above the camera club level?
The Southern Photographic Federation Council, needs more help, to serve both your club and other clubs in the area.
Many people and council members have given a lot of time this year and previously, you have a chance now to show your own gratitude, by sharing the workload.
As they say, many hands make light work, you can take on as much or as little as you would like to. However, we do need new members to join, if we are to continue with all our responsibilities, and the events we host. We ask only for your time and enthusiasm; the cost of your travel to meetings will be covered by the agreed SPF rate travel expenses; and there is always help and guidance on hand from more experienced council members.
Make this spring a time to change, step forward, and offer your help. Everyone is welcome, even if you would like to help with an event - but not join the council, please let us know.
There are several roles on the Council, where we are hoping that someone will come forward and shadow the current officer, so that they can share the knowledge, and workload. We are definitely looking for someone who is prepared to take on the role of Treasurer, Roy Lambeth has done an excellent job, I am sure you will all agree, and he will remain on Council in another role, but he has left the role of treasurer in a wonderful position, and everything is clearly set out.
All positions on the Council (excluding past President) are open for nomination at the AGM on Tuesday 24th May 2011 in Littleton. If possible we would like to have nominations on or before the 3rd May, with a completed nomination form attached. All nominations received by this date will be put on the SPF website, and any positions that have more than one candidate will be balloted by the clubs attending the AGM, but all nominations received up to the moment of ballot at the AGM will not be rejected.
Our thanks must go to Sue Watts (of Hayling Island), who has taken over the role of secretary early, whilst Chris has been unwell. Chris was planning on stepping down at the AGM, but not in such unforeseen circumstances. We should also not forget the loss of Les Lloyd, at the beginning of the season, having set up the new league format.
We really do need your support. Please contact a member of the Council if you would like to know more, there is a list of positions on the website, and you can find out more information about the council. http://www.southernfed.org.uk/
We look forward to welcoming you onto the SPF Council.
