Supper was provided by Mark Connop thank you Mark. Following supper Margaret O Grady judged our Enlargements Competition. Brent Randall then spoke about upcoming outings and events. A slideshow of images taken at recent events was shown. Meeting closed at 9.30pm. Next Meeting Tuesday, 27 th October 2015 Beaudesert Show Once again the Beaudesert Show has proved to be popular amongst the local photographers and of course the club members. It was great to see entries from children as young as 4 and 6 years of age being entered. Entries came from the one family, considering of each child having its own camera and taking the photos that they liked, altered in camera and then Mum arranged for the printing. This year there was not as many entries from our club members and it would be nice to see more in next year s events. I think many of us had lots of other events happening during this time frame and the Show came around very quickly. I know that was the case for me. It is also great to help out on the days as you tend to learn lots about the photos others take as well as listen to the comments made by the judge and then to be able to pass on some of those comments to the exhibitors when they come to collect their photos again on Sunday. 2
