Living with Environmental Change : LWEC Partnership

I am currently project managing a project on health and climate for an organisation called the Living With Environmental Change (LWEC) Partnership. This is an organisation of 22 public sector organisations that fund, carry out and use environmental research and observations.

For the project that I am managing, we have to produce something called a climate change report card, which is a 20-24 page document outlining the main impacts to health as a result of a changing climate. This document, available as a hard copy or off the internet, will be made available to all organisations and individuals who have an interest in health and climate change. It will probably be launched in the House of Commons in July, and as with previous report cards, may feature on that days television news.

As part of the production of this card, we need a number of high quality original photographs relating to the themes in the card that enhances the reading experience. For previous cards, which were on biodiversity and water, this was quite easy. These are available here if you want a look http://www.lwec.org.uk/resources/report-cards. However, for health, few suitable images exists, so we have decided to run a photography competition to see if we can uncover suitable images. This competition will have three prizes that can’t be money, but will have monetary values of £200, £100 and £50.

A crucial role in terms of running this competition is advertising the competition, and I was wondering if it would be possible to advertise this contest via your website, which I assume would probably be by direct contact with the different photographic societies, or any other way that you feel would be suitable. We have drafted the details of the competition for the LWEC website and the rules, and could forward these to you if you want (tweaking these slightly for a different media).
Thanks for your time in reading this email, and I look forward to your response

An Invitation from Chichester Camera Club

Members of your Club are cordially invited to Chichester Camera Club’s thirteenth advanced members’ exhibition to be held on Saturday, 18th January 2014 at the North Mundham Village Hall. The exhibition will be open between 10 am and 5 pm with refreshments, light lunches and teas available throughout the day. If anyone cannot make it on the Saturday, we will be open on the following day (Sunday) between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. We will have soup and a roll, tea and coffee available on that day; however, access to the exhibitors may be limited.

Print exhibitors have had the choice of varying screen spaces with the freedom to display virtually any type of work they wish with no rules on size, subject matter technique, etc. whilst PDI workers are each allowed to have up to 6 images projected, again with no subject ruling. Based on our previous, similar exhibitions, this freedom of choice has resulted in a considerable display of artistic talent. The day has also proved to be a great social occasion.

This year we are pleased to announce that the North Mundham Village Hall has been expanded. This means that we will be able to accommodate more advanced workers and that our visitors will have more space in which to view the displays.

We hope you will be able to visit us and look forward to meeting you on the 18thJanuary. See our web site at

Neil Cave Workshops

Further to our last charter update we are very please to now announce the confirmation of many of our plans for next year.

To start, we are now able to confirm that the very special visitor to the Swanage Railway is the T9! We have been working on this with the Swanage Railway since May and it is with much thanks to the Bodmin & Wenford Railway and the NRM that 30120 will be visiting the railway for around 3 weeks during March 2014. During her stay she will be staring in a week of Charters during the week of the 17th March. These Charters will see her Double Heading on two of the days with Manston as well as being paired with the lines two Bullied Coaches. Full details are attached below. We are also hoping to bring two further days of special T9 action the following week, these will be run by other operators and will hopefully be the 26th, 27th & 28th. Information on these dates will be available as soon as possible but for now just keep these dates in mind.

Next we turn our attention to the Western Region and continue with the theme that is starting to appear for Spring 2014. Our first Western Region themed event will see us return to the West Somerset Railway on the 24th & 25th of March. This is not only the first time the line will have hosted any Lineside Photo Charters in around 5 years it will also be the first time that a Black BR (W) Mogul will have appeared on the line in preservation. We have been working with the WSR & Didcot Railway Centre over the Summer to bring the Mogul to the WSR for their Spring Gala (Themed the Withered Arm) and of course to make the first Charters on the line for some time be some of the most memorable. Our first day will see 5322 work a freight over the line, followed the next day by some true BR(W) action when we see her paired with the lines resident BR Green Manor, pulling a long rake of Chocolate & Cream Coaches. Full details are attached below.

Continuing the Western theme and the work we have done over the Summer with Didcot Railway Centre, we are very pleased to announce that Mogul, 5322 will continue on her travels away from Didcot and appear at the Llangollen Railway for their Spring Gala. As we are away in the IOM during this period running our Events on the Holiday Island (details attached) we will only be able to offer one day's Charter with her on the 14th of April as she needs to return to Didcot for Easter. However we have decided that with her double heading and pulling a local freight at the WSR we should vary the action somewhat, so our Llangollen day will see her pulling a rake of Red & Cream MK1's which we think you will agree is one of the best pairing you will see in preservation. Full details are attached below.

Can I please ask you to reserve your place(s) on any of the above TimeLine Events by email first as we expect demand to be high.

Next I would like to return to the last Charters of the year for us and remind you that we are running two days with 3205 at the South Devon Railway over the 9th & 10th of December. These Charter are designed to give 3205 her first outing in full BR Livery. This week she is being lined out and will for the first time in preservation appear in her original 1960's BR Green. we still have places available for these Charters and would welcome your support. Full details are attached below. However can you please email your reservation for this ahead of sending your booking.

Future Dates for your diary.
KESR 2nd & 3rd April, Terrier on freight.
FR/WHR, 25th & 26th April, ME & Prince on mixed trains.
WLLR, W/C 28th April, actual dates still to be confirmed, The Earl and Countess.
6th - 9th and 12th & 13th May, BIG NEWS ON THIS COMING IN THE NEXT WEEK!
P&DSR, 3rd & 4th November, Manor on Chocolate & Creams plus night shoot at Kingswear.

Last point to note, our trip in April (7th - 12th) is likely to be the last one as it is becoming more and more difficult to operate these events on the IOM due to various circumstances beyond the control of David. So if you have never been or haven't been for a long time or just love returning year after year I would strongly advise you look seriously at this trip as you may not get the opportunity again. Full program details are attached below, places are strictly limited on this trip and will be allocated on a first come first served bases.

I hope these plans are of interest to many of you and we will look forward to seeing many of you on our TimeLine Events soon.

Regards
Neil.

Gold Hill, Shaftesbury as never seen before...

Hi,

Most of your members, no doubt, will be familar with, and will have taken images of Gold Hill in Shaftesbury.

So I'd just like to give you advance warning that next Monday, December 2nd, there will be an opportunity for your members to come and take some unique photographs of the hill as it has never been seen before.

This year is the fortieth anniversary of the famous Hovis advertisement, featuring the 'boy on the bike' and directed by the now world famous film director Ridley Scott and as part of Shaftesbury & District Chamber of Commerce's Christmas Spectacular we are delighted that the actor who played the boy, Carl Barlow, has agreed to re-visit Shaftesbury and be our guest of honour to switch on the Christmas Tree lights

This is for one night only, the lights are being set around 4.45 p.m and will be lit until around 9.00 p.m.

We would be grateful if you could let all your members (and any others that you feel it would interest) know of this opportunity.

We hope to see you all next Monday,

Kind regards,
Dennis & Ruth

Salisbury lights up for Christmas

SCC
This year’s countdown to Christmas in Salisbury will officially begin on Thursday 21 November 2013 at 6pm in the Market Place with Salisbury City Council’s annual Christmas Lights Switch On event.

Community reporters raring to go

Community reporters raring to go

Reporters
30 media savvy individuals turned up to Salsibury City Hall last week to find out about how social media can help them promote all that is great about Salisbury and South Wiltshire. And, they were brim full of enthusiasm and ready to get theproject rocking.
Community reporters are everyday folk like you and me who are passionate about the place where they live. They file reports using Our Community Matters, hunt out news and stories and bring us the latest from around the area. Mary Culen was at the launch:
“Community reporting is a great way to promote what we are doing, it’s easy, simple and gets our news out to the thousands of visitors to this great site. Steve Milton our local Community Area Mananger supports us with training, equipment and grants and the rest is down to us. I would recommend local groups to give it a go. Don’t be put off by all the tech language, its is really easy. “
Community reporting is supported by Wiltshire Council, the NHS, the Police and other partners and it aims to make the Our Community Matters websites the first point of call for all things community. If you missed the session at the City Hall you can catch up with the event here.
Why not dive into the new world of social media to help raise the profile of what you do – get involved!

Suggestions Box

Some time ago a member made some suggestions to the Committee. Sadly this information was sort of forgotten. Naturally the member complained. So in order that this should not be repeated it was decided that we should have a proper channel for members to send suggestions to the Committee.
And so a Link has been placed on the front page of our site directly under the rolling set of images.
However, despite its prominent position it was clear that even the Committee members did not realise that this idea had been implemented. No mention was made on this NEWS section either.
Now, however, it is mentioned so if you have ideas that you like the Club to think about here is an easy way to make you suggestion known.
An do not forget that under every entry on the NEWS section there is a Comments box.

Get tips on how to improve your photography.

Enjoy some of the quirky stories on photographic themes that Bournemouth has, and discover some unusual places to take photographs.

This should be an interesting, interactive, informative and fun few hours for anyone keen on learning how to make the most of their photography.

Quote from the last workshop:

"The 'Photo tour' was excellent. I really enjoyed it and Hattie's stories really added to the tour.
The teaching on how to put group photos together was a real bonus.

Yes, I would consider another one of these and would recommend them to anyone."


We would meet just outside the Daily Echo on Richmond Hill, Bournemouth BH2 6HH

RHS Photographic Competition 2013

With the closing date for this year’s RHS Photographic Competition fast approaching, we’re having one last push to remind photographers to get their entries in before Friday 1st November to be in with a chance of winning the coveted title of RHS Photographer of the Year 2013 and the top prize of £1000. The standard of entries for this year is already high, but we’re keen to make sure that no budding entrants are left behind, so we very much hope that you will pass this message on to your members.

According to judge and professional garden photographer Clive Nichols, ‘shooting at dawn in the autumn is the perfect time to take pictures outdoors as flowers and foliage will still be decorated with dew and cobwebs which can make for some striking images.’ Now that we are in the midst of autumn it’s the perfect time to get outside and capture some truly spectacular shots.
Full details of the competition including the entry form can be found on our website – www.rhs.org.uk/photocomp.

With very best wishes

Only in England: Photographs

Only in England: Photographs by Tony Ray-Jones and Martin Parr
21 September 2013 - 16 March 2014

Click HERE

Fascinated by the eccentricities of English social customs, Tony Ray-Jones spent the latter half of the 1960s travelling across England, photographing what he saw as a disappearing way of life. Humorous yet melancholy, these works had a profound influence on photographer Martin Parr, who has now made a new selection including over 50 previously unseen works from the National Media Museum's Ray-Jones archive. Shown alongside The Non-Conformists, Parr's rarely seen work from the 1970s, this selection forms a major new exhibition which demonstrates the close relationships between the work of these two important photographers.

Print Box Orders

Print Box Orders

The closing date for the next order of Nomad Print Boxes will be Friday 1st November. They should be available for collection at the Reps Meeting (AGM) on Monday 11th November. (or by arrangement)
Nomad describe these boxes as Heavy Duty in that they have two webbing straps and moulded black plastic corners. Please note that I am no longer offering the half sizes. (2.5'' & 3.5'') Now that they are the same price as the next full size up, very few of you are ordering them. Obviously I shall continue to offer the 1⅝'' size because this is the box we all use for our club competition, league and exhibition panels.

Nomad do give us a discount on quantity. Obviously this cannot be reflected in the prices of individual boxes but any ‘profit’ is paid to the SPF, thus helping keep Federation costs down.
If you are considering ordering 6 inch deep boxes, please bear in mind that they are a substantial weight when filled.

Enquiries – jeneric2012@btinternet.com - Eric Bennett

Dimensions:-
Note all boxes are 21” x 17” and are available in the following depths.
1⅝'' - £22.70 Handles can be supplied at an additional cost of £3
2'' - £22.70 Orders in writing and with cheques payable to:
3'' - £23.30 E. J. Bennett. 6 Inhams Road, Holybourne, ALTON
4'' - £23.90 Hampshire. GU34 4EU
5'' - £25.00 When ordering please supply your postal/email
6'' - £25.70 address and the name of your club.
Note: There are two types of handle: Webbing handles and plastic suitcase handles. I wouldn't recommend the suitcase handles for boxes above 4 inches in depth.
Also handles can be a bit of a nuisance if you are going to be sending your box through the post on a regular basis.

Barrow Hill
 Hi to one and all.

I have been asked to see if there would be enough support to run an event at Barrow Hill Round House ahead of "Barrow Hill Live", this private photo shoot would be on evening of Wednesday the 25th of this month. This would be a night shoot and would include Mallard, Tornado and the B1 (from the NYMR) outside the Shed and then inside we will have available to the Half Cab, Blue Peter, Butler Henderson and one or two others. With it being such short notice there will be little opportunity to move loco's around the yard/shed but with some good lighting (provided by Jason Cross) and some re-enactors we could make up for this with some nicely posed cameo scenes. We will be able to create smoke to add to the scene. Tornado will be in steam, the B1 should be in light steam as well. Dare I also mention that on the opposite side of the Round House Turntable there are a variety of heritage Diesel and Electric Loco's that you may find of interest, Jason will undoubtedly put some of these under the spotlights as well. 

If you are interested in supporting this event the cost will be £35.00 per person, with all profits going to Barrow Hill. 

This email is only to gauge support, if you are interested and would like to see this happen then can you please email me ASAP so I may make a final decision. 

Regards

Neil.
