President’s Column – July 2025

I am looking forward to our next few club activities. Firstly the workshop on Saturday the 12th, then Trenna Packer Salver at our club night on Monday, and then our Cass trip. The workshop and Cass still have spaces on them so it is not too late to sign up. The Cass trip will be good for looking for opportunities to take photos to put towards our next exhibition. There is also the Simon Runting bird photography workshop on the day after Trenna Packer with space to sign up for it as well.

At our last committee meeting we chose the theme of “And then there were three” for our fun Christmas competition. Time to get your thinking caps on and see what you can come up for this. We are looking for one or two people who would like to help with judging the competition. As it is a fun competition you do not have to be too worried about being a judge – anyone could do it. If interested in knowing more please talk to one of the committee members.

We are keen to get someone to help / be a backup with running the computer / presentation doing club nights. We know that the computer has been misbehaving on club nights and are looking at solutions, including getting a new computer, so don’t let this slow you down if you think you would like to be a backup. Please let me know if you are interested in this.

We are also keen on getting some more people to help with club field trips, both week day and weekend ones. These are not hard to organise and are greatly appreciated by members. Please have a talk to Andrea, or a committee member if you have any ideas for a trip. We can help or co-lead it with you if you want.

Below are a couple of photos I took while on the Birdlings Flat field trip.
