Since the last report from the late Mr.Reg Tizard was published the Club
has held four events. Here is a brief report on each one. On September 28th an
Inter-Club competition took place between the NNCC and the North Walsham & District
Camera Club, judged by Joy Hancock MPAGB FRPS from Mundesley. Ten prints and ten
slides from each side were separately judged and resulted in a clear win by the North
Norfolk CC - 170 points to 150.5. On October 12th a lecture was given at the British
Legion Hall Blakeney by Derek Edwards a highly skilled aerial photographer. Derek's
splendid slides and prints together with his erudite and highly knowledgeable talk, gave
the audience a fascinating view of Norfolk from the air. October 20th was the date
that the NNCC took part in a 3 Way Inter Club competition between the Norwich and District
Photographic Society and Dereham Camera Club which hosted the evening meeting. The
Norwich group has some outstanding photographers and invariably wins the annual 'battle'.
They did so on this occasion winning overall by 145 points to Dereham's 128 and the
NNCC's 126. However the NNCC had the satisfaction of scoring maximum points for
their slides ; two scenes taken in Namibia by John Cucksey scoring the maximum 10 points
each. Lastly, on October 26th.at the Holt Community Centre Dr Bob Ward LRPS, an
active member of the NNCC, gave a most interesting and informative talk entitled 'Light
with a Twist'. Bob dealt with the polorization of light including the early research
dating from the 18th century which eventually led to photographic filters and Polaroid sun
glasses etc. The use of these filters enables photographers to create quite dramatic
effects whether using film or digital cameras. For digital workers the meeting to be
held in the Cley Village Hall at 7-30 pm on Wednesday November 23rd should prove to be
particularly interesting. Steve Jackson, an expert in digital processing will talk
and demonstrate 'My way with Photoshop'. Non-members will be welcome but as seating
may be limited please telephone Trudy White (01263 713212) to check on places.
Finally on December 7th. the Club will meet in it's usual venue - the Holt
Community Centre -when the 'Summer Cup Competition' will be held judged by Derek Leak
CPAGB. The subject this year has been 'The River Glaven'. If readers are
particularly interested in this 'local' river and it's surroundings or are members of the
River Glaven Conservation Group, please come along - only £2 for visitors. Trudy White. SHANTYMEN The Sheringham Shantymen are to hold a fund-raising concert on Friday 2nd
December at St Peters Church in Sheringham for Woodfield Special Needs School in the town.
Woodfield School, which plays such a vital role in North Norfolk, is raising funds
to create a 'playground' complete with special equipment and safety features which is
essential for these vunerable children.
