Brian for his artistic reflective sunglass technique of a sailboat (well done), and George for climbing the mast to fly his Jolly Roger and photograph down the mast on the crew looking up (scary).
To show how appreciative the Arklow Sailing Club were, and showed no favouritism in our adversity, they awarded a prize to Colum (who was a diehard on the Bridge!) for his tilting of the sails.....(isn't he delighted he decided to go to sea that Saturday!).
Meanwhile, on Wednesday, Mark dropped the guillotine on the black and white photos for the competition and despatched them for adjudication. This will happen on Wednesday night - business commitments by the judiciary all going well.
At the point of bending over backwards, we hope to finish off the final chapter on metering.
So, this is it - the meat - read carefully. I cannot make it any clearer.
Wednesday night - 1st September 2009 Bridge Hotel
20:00 The Gathering begins...........
20.30 - SHARP - Introduction to printing black and white (Paul) - This will be followed next week with practicals on how its done - bring a photo you'd like to print differently and we'll see how many we get thro.
21:00 - Judging report on black and white competition - provisional based on business commitments. Finally, time permitting - Finish metering talk.
Most of the important communication takes place at the meeting on Wednesday. So, to be sure of the latest, on what's going on, please, come along.
The next way of communicating is by email.
If I have your current and correct email address you will get a newsletter, provided - you're internet is working. you tell your mailbox the newsletter is not spam having received it, now you have to read it and print it off if your memory isn't the best like mine. Of course, I don't know whether you're internet is working or not and I presume I have your current email address unless you tell me otherwise. sometimes, my own connection isn't working 100% or I have other commitments which don't enable me to send a newsletter earlier than this. Comprende?
Finally, the Society functions on a voluntary basis. We all give up our time to try and make it work. The members on your committee (who are due a committee meeting next Wednesday 9th at 19:00), make an extra effort to make things happen.
If you think you can do any of the committee jobs any better, come forward, and you can have a job! My mailbox is open between now and next meeting to receive any applications! (Canvassing will disqualify)!
May you all be sane and happy in mind, body and spirit...............
~Au revoir
