Summary Report on The Hinkley Weekend
This is a new location for the weekend, Sue Lawler had recommended it and Tony and Sally Tarlton arranged a first class weekend in a hotel with friendly and efficient staff, good rooms and a very good restaurant.
The weekend was very successful so we would like to thank Tony and Sally for that and also to thank Hugh Elliott for arranging the competitions and presentations which were very successful.
Gareth will write a full report that will appear in the Newsletter so this is a quick summary:
1. The AGM shows that the Fellowship is in good order.
2. We have some new members and Andrew Cunningham battled through flight cancellations in Belfast to join us. We've put a link to Andrew's website here:
www.cunningham.ws
3. We had a presentation from Pam and Cled Lewis about their trip to India and the tiger reserves.
4. Some Members showed us up to four of their prints and talked about them.
5. The 'My Day Out' and Audrey Bury Competitions showed some good photos and the placed photographs are shown below.
6. We found a good number of placed to visit following the guidance that Tony and Sally gave us.
