READERS LETTER

Dear Editor,
I am an avid fan of shopping online and I do my grocery shopping via Tesco Online service, (I love the way that they deliver to my door and I help the environment at the same time!   They are doing multiple deliveries, so it cuts down on traffic).  It was my young granddaughters' birthday a few weeks ago and I was looking through the book section available at Tescos in the hopes that I could find something to give her as a present.   I noticed something very interesting whilst doing so, a book by the name of Lucker and Tiffany Peel Out - author Eroica Mildmay.  Is this is the same Eroica Mildmay that currently chairs SCAMROD, who are so vocally opposed to Tesco coming to town?  I would love to know.

Dear Editor
After watching the news on TV (14th Sept) about the redundancies at Norwich Union and the jobs are now going overseas is the company going to be re-named Indian Union?  I will be taking my custom elsewhere and do my best to support this country.

NORTH NORFOLK CAMERA CLUB

Following the club's very successful Summer Exhibition at the Stable Gallery, Kelling, the new season kicks off on Wednesday September 13th with a review of the exhibition and a general forum evening where various photographic acronyms will be translated into layman's terms.  We hope to learn how the club benefits from belonging to the EAF (East Anglian Federation of Photographic Societies) which in turn affiliates the club to PAGB (Photographic Alliance of Great Britain).

The first inter-club competition of the club year will be held on September 27th when NNCC is in a three-way battle with Norwich and Dereham.  The term 'battle' belies the fact that this will be a very friendly evening although secretly the club would very much like to take the honours.

The subject for the club's summer cup project is The Seashore and these pictures will be judged on Wednesday October 11th. Four prints from each member can be presented which ought to produce a tremendously varied display with, presumably, plenty of local interest.

Also coming up before Christmas there will be a practical 'hands-on' evening, a slide show of some of the Best Prints of a CAPG Exhibition and one of our regular judges will be using his own images to demonstrate what a judge is looking for when choosing the best pictures.

Visitors are welcome to all meetings held on Wednesdays fortnightly at Holt Community Centre Lounge Room, 7 for 7.30pm start, £2.  For further information ring Judy Knights on 01263 825418
