On-Screen Secon to Bramford<br />
might encourage more people to<br />
parcipate.”<br />
Hence the new Commiee<br />
have given careful consideraon to<br />
the issues raised at the AGM. The<br />
programme for <strong>2010</strong>-2011 is already<br />
fully arranged with rooms, speakers<br />
and judges booked and confirmed so<br />
there is lile scope for change for the<br />
coming season. The possibility of this<br />
season relocang On-Screen Friday<br />
meengs to Bramford was considered<br />
but discounted for two reasons:<br />
a. the Society is commied to<br />
bookings made for the Odd<br />
Fellows Hall<br />
b. the Church Room is already<br />
fully booked for Friday<br />
evenings.<br />
The Commiee therefore<br />
considered in greater detail the<br />
arrangements for 2011-2012 and had<br />
in mind:<br />
• the comments made by<br />
members at the AGM<br />
• the reducon in numbers<br />
aending the On-Screen<br />
Secon<br />
• the patchy aendance at some<br />
Main Society meengs<br />
The Commiee considered that<br />
the move to having Print Secon and<br />
Main Society meengs on Monday<br />
evenings had been very successful<br />
and welcomed by most members.<br />
Taking all things into consideraon<br />
the Commiee felt that having one<br />
Society meeng night on a Monday<br />
would be aracve to current and<br />
4<br />
future members. They also felt that<br />
this would unify and strengthen the<br />
Society and would encourage greater<br />
parcipaon in all of the Society’s<br />
internal compeons while retaining<br />
a strong programme of external<br />
speakers.<br />
Having all Secon and Main<br />
Society meengs on Monday evenings<br />
would reduce the number of meengs<br />
from the present 42 per season<br />
(excluding Studio and Digital Imaging<br />
Group meengs) to 32 which is the<br />
number currently required by the<br />
rules. This assumes meengs from<br />
mid <strong>September</strong> through unl the<br />
end of April - a few more meengs<br />
could be added to this by extending<br />
the season. However there is some<br />
concern that members may not wish to<br />
aend meengs early in <strong>September</strong> or<br />
in May. The Society’s current range of<br />
acvies can be maintained within this<br />
programme and can include:<br />
6 Print monthly compeons<br />
6 Projected Image monthly<br />
compeons<br />
Special Subject Cups e.g. George<br />
Farthing for PI Landscapes<br />
All major trophies compeons as<br />
Main Society events e.g. Steeds,<br />
Nacton, Clover, Holbrook and<br />
Roslyn Cups.<br />
Lectures from leading<br />
photographers<br />
Members’ presentaon of their<br />
work both Print and PI<br />
One Ladies v Gents compeon, for<br />
Prints and PI<br />
Image discussion evenings
