Stoke Gabriel Meet - 220410 to 040510

This being a 12 days meet, it was difficult for one person to report on all that took place.
On the second Friday morning, we were due to say farewell to a small group who were heading for Bodmin and a 1940's weekend over the Bank Holiday.
However the rest of us were treated to a fashion parade (some of you will have seen photographs at the Festival of Photography) on the Thursday night, just before we had a group get together for a fish and chip supper.

Friday evening saw us in Collaton St Mary church hall for a presentation by Mike Ford on his travels to Russia and Ireland and especially his trip to New Zealand which was a result of winning a competition sponsored by the Camping and Caravanning Club; a fascinating evening with some wonderful photography showing once again how lucky we are to have talks by our own members.

On the Saturday evening our 'resident tutor' Jeff Morgan gave us a presentation on 'How to Improve your Landscape Photography'.
As with all Jeff's presentations his personal style, expertise, experience and professionalism were again well demonstrated in the information he gave us and in his images.
Unfortunately he was not bale to complete the presentation that evening but by popular request, and by luck the hall being available, he was able to continue on the Sunday evening and complete the 'lesson'. I am sure that all those who attended the two sessions came away both impressed and inspired.

Monday found us in the gazebo with the usual showing of members' images, many of which had been taken over the period of the meet.
Our thanks are due to all those who contributed to a very well attended and enjoyable meet.
