Appraisal 4

This is the last appraisal of the session and we will find out who is top of the leagues. The Print section is an open section and for the PDIs one of the images must be a 'Natural Portrait'...Good luck everybody. The judge for the appraisal is Neil McGoldrick who comes from the Greater Aberdeenshire area so the appraisal will be done over Zoom because of the travel distance . Dougie emailed out on the 6th the link to be used to get into the appraisal meeting.

The date for entry to the exhibition at Howden Park Centre is the 22nd March. The preparation night saw a lot of busy folk putting together their images in mounts and frames. Jim Reid is preparing labels so send him the name of your prints so he can have them ready.

Ladies Night

Members Caroline L and Sheila C joined forces for two completely different presentations at one of the club's 50:50 nights. First up was Sheila with a showing of images from Doha in the Middle East. Some fantastic buildings were expertly captured by Sheila along with other images of life in the City. After the break Caroline took the floor with a show of largely nature images from a summer trip to the Shetland Isles.
