2011 MEMBERSHIP APPLICATIONS

Angy is giving these out. The idea is to streamline things when we return on January 6th and avoid having to queue. Simply fill in the form and return with cheque or cash to Angy next week (or on the 6th). You can also pay for the Awards dinner this way. Cheques will not be cashed until mid January. Your programme and new membership number will then be issued on the 6th. Note that the closing date for the first competition of 2011, the First Progress Projected Images, is 13th January and you will need your new membership number to enter.

COMPETITION TROPHIES

Will the proud 2009 trophy winners please return them next week, 16th December. This is so we can have them engraved with the names of the 2010 winners in time for presentation at the Annual Awards dinner, Friday 28th January 2011. If you have the chance, have a look at them and check out the roll calls of honour going back many years. They are part of our history and heritage.

With the Valente Cup and Leslie Buss Trophy now decided there is just one award remaining for 2010 – the Vice President’s award for service to the Society. Still time to influence the decision!

RPS INTERNATIONAL PROJECTED IMAGE EXHIBITION

Sadly, we had to cancel the club night last week due to the bad weather so could not show the RPS 2010 exhibition. However, copies of the DVD are available at £5 each from Paul Ritchie.

DPS BOTANIC GARDENS EXHIBITION: Folio 2011

There is space for only 47 framed prints so members need to put their name down at the club ASAP if they would like to take part. It will be “First come, first served”. It will be your choice of print, something you are proud of, something with the wow factor, and of course it does not have to be a botanical subject. Bring in your print in a 20x16 inch mount any time from now until 3rd February. Hon Life Vice President Don Bennett DPAGB will be organising and will answer any queries.

ST CUTHBERT’S HOSPICE CALENDAR 2012

Top pictures needed. Ideal spec: high resolution jpegs, Durham related, reflecting the seasons, could include iconic events. Images on disc and captioned with the photographer’s name if possible. Please drop them off at the club by 1st week back in January. Full photo credit will be given.

THE MUSIC FACTORY EXHIBITION

Some of the prints from The Sage Gateshead have been transferred to the Durham Town Hall entrance. This has enabled us to put some new ones out in The Sage where The Music Factory continues. DPS organiser Alan Stott said, “Our members produced so many great music images for this project and it has been good to have yet more of them on display”.

Check out both exhibitions as soon as you can and be proud!

NCPF IMAGE REQUEST
