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.

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.
