With 3 meetings of this season remaining last week was our Print & Projected Digital Image of the Year night. The results will be announced at the Presentation Night later this month.
Also last week club members were issued with Annual Reports from Office Bearers in advance of our A.G.M. These reports give details of the myriad of tasks involved in running our club. During his past season we have enjoyed some excellent events, internal and external competitions have been a valuable source of learning, and within the past couple of months we have embarked on 3 significant projects which will shortly begin to unfold.
As we approach our A.G.M. it’s worth remembering that Falkirk C.C. is a member of Falkirk Arts Network, the Glasgow & District Photographic Union, the Scottish Photographic Federation, the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain and the Fédération Internationale d’le Art Photographique. We often contribute to their operations, are guided by their conventions and regulations, participate in their exhibitions and competitions and provide and have access to lecturers, competition judges and tutors. This all provides a significant resource for our Club members.
Membership and community organisations like ourselves exist because of volunteers. The numerous tasks involved require skills transferable from, and to, the workplace so as we approach the end of our season we thank everyone who has volunteered their services over the past year. Some arrive long before the start of any event to help prepare the hall, others look after new members / lecturers and judges while more take care of catering. Then, people stay behind afterwards to tidy up. Sincere thanks to all.
