Salisbury Camera Club News May 2020




Salisbury Camera Club Newsletter, May 2020

Lockdown Beauty PJW
Dear Members and Friends,


We trust that you and your families have remained safe and well since the lockdown began. Life has certainly been different for us all.
This Newsletter on behalf of the Club Committee is an attempt to reconnect with you and to try to look forward to future activities in the Club. Many of you have been keeping active photographically via Flickr groups and I am sure that when we eventually meet again we shall see and hear how other photographic interests have been kept alive.
Monday, May 18th was planned as the AGM to conclude the 2019-2020 season. The AGM will now be held at our first meeting together in September, assuming that a physical meeting is possible by then. Full details, including an agenda, will be circulated when the situation becomes clearer. Below is a summary of the competitions and Trophy winners which were concluded before the premature end of the season.

Club Trophy “Art or Anarchy” Richard Ramsay

 Congratulation to all the winners. Thank you to everyone who entered the various competitions, which helped everyone to see a wide range of excellent images.

We should like to try an online club meeting during the summer. Many of you will have kept in touch with family and friends online in one way or another. We propose to use Zoom. Many of you may have used Zoom either for official work meetings or for meetings with family and friends. Further information from other SCPF Clubs using Zoom for meetings and for competitions together with a note regarding earlier security concerns is posted on the SCPF News section of our website in the SCPF May Newsletter. Scroll down towards the end of this newsletter and there are a number of articles under the heading ZOOM. We propose that the meeting should last no more than 45 minutes (the time limit for a free to hosts Zoom meeting).

The meeting will cover a chance for us to see and greet each other again, an outline of possible next steps for club meetings in the light of the external situation, perhaps a selection from favourites from the Club’s Flickr sites and a chance to comment on them, plus, time permitting a short presentation from Tony Oliver (Subject yet to be decided)
The meeting will take place during the summer and further details about how to join the meeting and the exact topics will be circulated later. You may, of course, have views or questions of your own for the meeting, which should be sent to Richard Temlett as Secretary.

As a perhaps topical summer photographic challenge, you might like to consider the subject “Emerging from Lockdown”. Entries to be submitted at the start of next season, Up to 3 PDI’s per member in the usual format. Images taken between April 2020 and the date finally required for entry.

Just to let you know what the Committee is doing, we will be having a Zoom meeting on the 4TH of June.

Stay Safe. Enjoy your photography.
With best wishes to you all,
Peter Woodhouse,
Chairman, Salisbury Camera Club, on behalf of the Committee.
