The clubs AGM was held, a necessary annual formal requirement in the running of the club.

This year we also combined the event with the AGM, drinks and nibbles and voting for the members choice of best highest scoring PDI Image of the season.

During the AGM section, all of the existing committee team had agreed to continue with the good work produced this season and were unanimously nominated by the members. This is a tremendous result for the club, to have this continuity of talented Committee members continue in these roles.

A lot of good suggestions were made during the AOB section, all of which will be reviewed and actioned where relevant.

Thank you to all the members that were able to attend last night, giving your valuable support.

We look forward to further progressing as a club into the new season with many exciting and diverse photography events planned.

Our well attended talk this week ( members and guests)was with Andrew Scriven who gave an excellent presentation entitled ‘ Mindfulness and photography’. His talk covered his great photography achievements including being a Sony ambassador and being awarded Digital photography Wildlife photograph of the year. He also Introduced his Interest in Meditation and experimental photography and the Importance of music as a factor, which helped enable him to get into a creative zone with his photography.

Overall a very enjoyable presentation helped by Andrews delivering style. Definitely the most unique talk this year and a first for the Croxley Camera Club to participate in ‘Meditation’ during a club evening.

Judge Kathy Chandler had the daunting task of choosing the PDI photograph of the season. With 96 Images qualifying, scores ranging from 18 to 20 in previous competitions. The standard was very high from the talented Croxley membership.

22 different authors were represented with their work, offering a very diverse selection for the judge.

In addition to the judge choosing the ultimate winner of the trophy she also Identified 2nd and 3rd positions with highly commended and commended Images.

Congratulations to all nominated members and the winners on the night, with special praise for Rod Lacey’s ultimate selected winning Image.
