Club Photographs of Events

the Editor — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 10:30:52 +0000

At a recent committee meeting agreement was reached for members to ‘post’ their own photos of events directly onto our web site.. The understanding is that the photo albums – recording the history of the club, will no longer be supported. Posting directly to this site will save any ‘double-handling’.. The photos will remain on display for a rolling 12 month period.. There is a reduction in resolution when storing the photos. If you would like pictures, from any of the events for personal use, please contact the member supplying them. They will email you the photos – in batches if necessary – and you can then have your own prints made at Frosts, Jessops etc. ( If there are many photos it may be preferrable to use a memory stick).

It is a straightforward procedure to upload pictures which will be explained to participants. For further information on how to carry out this function please contact the editor. This service is for members only.

Keeping in touch

the Editor — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 12:40:18 +0000

The New Year has heralded a fairly mild start – in comparison to this time last year !! We have all enjoyed some truly sunny days.. This made the recent long walk more enjoyable.. Although back at home it was reported the rain came down in stairrods !

Judging by the advert on the TV, it could be right time to consider switching gas\electricty provider if your current tarriff seems out of proportion.. Some of the providers are changing existing meters for a ‘Smart’ version. This will be law – for all households by 2019.. A remote unit will be provided at each (free) installation so gas and electricity usage can be monitored regularly within the house. You may wish to investigate the situation

At a recent meeting – organised by Brian Spencer – current membership was discussed. If you live local to us in Sutton Coldfeld and would like to know more about the club, please get in touch and get yourself ‘invited’ to one of our informal meetings. If you like the taster format and think you would like to see more of what we do then why not discuss it with us ?? Contact is via the Editor. Please get in touch via the comment box below ??

Comments are always welcome..
