Print and Projected Digital Image of the Year
With 3 meetings of this 2025 – 2026 season remaining, last week was our Print & Projected Digital Image of the Year night and we are indebted to this years judge Peter De Marco from Eastwood Photographic Society in Glasgow. Peter is Chairman of the Glasgow & District Photographic Union and a member of the Scottish Photographic Circle. He is a highly successful photographer with a striking portfolio including Macro, Landscape, Portrait and Travel photography among others. His detailed advice was firmly directed at improving the skills of the photographers and was appreciated by all. Results will be announced at the Presentation Night later this month.
In a few days time club members will be issued with some of the 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 lectures. Internal and external competitions have been a valuable source of learning, and the first of our two joint exhibitions with Falkirk Writer’s Circle is on at the ground floor Turret Gallery in Callendar House.
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, the Fédération Internationale d’le Art Photographique, the Council for Voluntary Service – Falkirk & District, the Office of the Scottish Charity Regulator and are registered with the Scottish Council for Voluntary Organisations. 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 for the evening, 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.
