Well summer is virtually over, September 1st has arrived and I can't believe that the events I was part of with my local photographic society have been and gone. It hardly seems any time at all that our main summer period with a pub quiz and summer exhibition is over.
My society is always short of funds so, rather than lie down and die, I got together with some of the other members and organised a fund raiser to support the club's summer exhibition. Whilst the £150+ profit might not seem great to some clubs, it was a shot in the arm for my society. This enabled the members to put on an exhibition in the town centre, albeit off the main street, without worrying that it would drive the club into extinction.
All in all, visitor numbers weren't great, but the main object was to get publicity to increase membership and our press officer, Jane, did a magnificent job getting small items in the local press both before and, larger items with pictures, after.
Our new season starts on September 23rd with the AGM and showing of pictures taken on our summer outing and ramble, so it will be interesting to see if we get any new members along.
