Photographic Society: AGM April 2023

The formality of a Society AGM took up the first part of our Club night this month. We saw Martyn Pearse retire as Chair and Miggy Wild was voted into this position. Andrew Dayer was voted in as Secretary. The remaining Officers, Nick Hardwick and Colin Lamb continue in their roles as Treasurer and Programme Secretary respectively.

Martyn Pearse thanked the working committee for their help this last year which included Meriel Flux, Lindsey Smith, Neil Grantham, Courtney Killpack and Anne Hunsley. They have been instrumental in keeping the Society moving forward.

Martyn Pearse concluded his Chairman’s report with, ‘I leave confident in the knowledge that the society has a highly capable committee that will continue all the good works to ensure the continued success of the Adderbury, Deddington & District Photographic Society.’ Thank you Martin for all your work on the Committee over the last ten years.

The second part of Club night was a well fought quiz of guessing ‘What is it?’ A two-round collection of images guessing something taken in close up and their full size answers leaving a winning team of four with Easter chocolate as a prize. This is possibly one of the quietest moments we have had in our club nights together. Well, Chocolate was up for winning!

As part of our Society calendar, we enjoy photoshoots and workshops. This last month we enjoyed a light photoshoot organised by myself at Deddington Church.

Next month we have an in-house presenter Colin Lamb presenting his recently taken images from his visit to New Zealand.

At each club night we have a slideshow of members images on a theme and this next month’s title is ‘Discovery.’

On May 5th we are visiting The Old Dairy Farm, Cropredy and Slimbridge Wetland Centre – dates and times t.b.a.

Our new year begins, and we welcome new members to our Society nights on the first Wednesday of each month. Website and contact: addphoto.co.uk for further information.
