Hertland AGM & Meeting 28th September 2008
Heartland AGM - It was sad to see Derek Chant giving up his position as the Southern chairman after so many years. Dave Chapman was elected as the new chairman and Ivor Matanle & Lance Potter were re-elected as the Southern Secretary & Treasurer respectively.
The main speakers for the day were Ivor Matanle ( on Photographic Developments That Changed The Course Of Photography ) and John Wade, No not on the Wrayflex, but on "everything Wray and associated with Wray" ( but the Wrayflex ). The hall was almost full and 29 members attended the meeting.
 

Hertland Meeting 29th June 2008
Roger Bradley, the current National Chairman, visited the Heartlands Group meeting at Wheathampstead on Sunday, June 29th.  Roger is continuing the tradition that new chairmen visit each of the club's regions.
His talk was entitled, "The Joys &  Perils of a Dilettante Photographic Collector".
His multi coloured shirt featuring postcards and cameras was appropriately sourced in Hollywood.

Bievres 2008

This, Europe's largest photo-fair is held annually, outdoors, in the village of Bievres a few kilometres from Paris on the way to Versailles.
There is a huge range of items for sale. The vendors ranging from serious dealers to individuals with a cloth on the grass with a few items for sale. Frustratingly, very few items have a price tag which seems to favour those visitors with a definite shopping list.
This year prices seemed quite high by British standards.
Even so its a great day out.

Witney Meeting 2008

Witney, Oxfordshire meeting, February 17, 2008, organised by the Southern Region. The day included a variety of sales tables by club members, a lively junk auction led by Peter Harris and talks by John Wade and Derek Chant.

As always, much conversation flowed between those attending the meeting. Despite the general use of the internet, meetings
still have much to offer club members.
