CPS 2009 Programme of Events Outline |
|||||||||||||
|
The above pictured PDF file is a copy of the presentation given by the President, John Barnes, on behalf of the Management Committee of the club outlining the 2009 program of events for the year. We firmly believe that this program sets out the best possible option to satisfy as many member requirements within the club as possible, a club with a very wide range in taste in terms of photography styles, genres and of course technologies in terms of prints, slides or digital images. |
We focused very much on the number and style of competitions, our ability to educate both the experienced and inexperienced photographer, sought to widen the breadth of knowledge about photography styles and techniques that can be applied across a range of styles within the club and attract top class speakers while also allowing us to show case our own members considerable talents. As always the committee welcomes constructive feedback on everything we do on behalf of the members and see this as no different. Feedback should be sent via the club secretary: |
