1st November - An Exchange of Sequences
With the Cleethorpes AV Group & Northern Ireland AV Group
Some club members do not travel to other events & competitions, so rarely see work outside of their own club. The idea of the exchange is to see work produced by different regions and to receive feedback. This is not a competition or to show new or the 'best' work from the club, but that from a range of members at all levels. It is more like a 'Members Sequence Evening' where the work is discussed & constructive comments made.
This way each Group will benefit from the comments & see a range of work at all levels from different areas.
This is the first of the Exchange evenings where we will look at some of the work from both Groups with plenty of time for discussion. The remaining sequences will be viewed in January.

7th February - An Evening With Tony Collinson LRPS DPAGB
Tony has been involved with AV since the days of Twin Projectors and the Immatronic fade unit when I, along with a colleague presented shows to many of the camera clubs in the YPU area.
I have been producing AV’s digitally for some years now and tend to create documentary style sequences. The travel and research involved in this style of work I find both challenging and rewarding. I also enjoy photographing Rare Birds and Steam Trains.
Tony will show a selection of his work and talk about how he made them.
