Photofold Camera Club
By Tina Reid
What is a camera club I asked myself,
not sure what to expect, but as Tuesday
drew nearer, I was even more intrigued
and on the night I was pleasantly surprised. That
was in September 2007. To my friends and family
I call it my camera club, not the camera club.
Going to my camera club, I have met some really
nice people I like to call my friends. We exchange
lots of knowledge about cameras and
photographs that we have been taking.
The knowledge that I have gained since
becoming a member has been very rewarding.
Looking back on my very first photographs I
can see a vast improvement, and as time goes by,
I feel I will improve even more. I look forward to
a Tuesday evening, as this is when I can get lost
in a world of photography just for two hours,
having the pleasure of seeing other people’s
work. It cannot really be explained; it’s a great
feeling just to be there to look at these
magnificent images or pictures.
Photography has now become part of my life,
and I am constantly looking at new things to
photograph.
Stock Drama Group
One minute to Eight, I’m standing in the
dark behind a large curtain; on the
other side a room full of people wait
expectantly. Tea cups and wine glasses are put
down as the lights dim and the music fades and
as the curtain starts to retreat I just have time to
ask myself “Why am I doing this”
Now and again I will take some of my
photographs and show them to one or two of
the other members, and they will give me some
constructive criticism, which I value and take on
board. The first time I entered one of the
competitions I did not really know what to
expect; I felt nervously excited that everyone in
the room was now looking at my photograph
and wondering what the judge was going to say,
but as I have only been doing photography for
about 3 years, I was quite happy with what the
judge had commented about my photograph.
Since then I have entered many competitions
and listened very hard to what the judges said,
then I go away and try to implement what they
have suggested.
Off The Hook
Stock Drama Group has been in existence for
over 50 years and in that time hundreds of
members have found themselves in the same
situation and posing themselves the same
question. The group produce two performances
a year, the culmination of several months work,
starting with the producer selecting the play. We
then hold a series of play readings and after
much consideration, pleading, threats and
occasional bribes the cast is selected. Rehearsals
take place on Tuesdays and Thursdays,
