Arnold & District Camera Club

Four meetings in the space of 11 days brought out a healthy turnout of members, some of who were joining us for the first time.
Photographer Dave Johnston came along with his own special humour on the 24th Jan.to amaze us with his stunning images, followed by the presentation of the NEMPF 2008 accepted slides, on the following Monday. Together with our new P.A.system, Digital Projecter and Lap top, which were in use for the first time altogether, the show was excellent.
Our new equipment was in full use again three days later when the digital images from our U.S.A. friends The Rockford Camera Club were shown. Our own A/V Disc sent to them earlier was also seen, and thanks were given to Webmaster Greg Foster for his excellent editing of both presentations.
Four days later on the 4th Feb. Steve Myall kindly judged our 26th Library Annual Print Competition. Always a mammoth task with no less than 71 images to sort through. He also used our new radio microphone for the first time.
Congratulations go to Margaret Johnson LRPS who came away with the best overall print for 2008 depicting junk mail in a letter box. Strange that judge Steve is a postman by trade! (only teasing Margaret, a worthy winner)
