Hi everyone,

Firstly, our AGM has been moved to next week, (Week 9), time/date details coming soon. Please make sure you attend and keep PhotoSoc going! Secondly, Thursday's Studio Workshop was very successful - hopefully more of you will wan tto hire out the studio kit now you know how it works - thanks Martin!
So this week, we should be photographing the Fusion dress rehearsal, we will let you know when this will be as soon as we hear back from the Fusion committee. Most likely this will be Thursday this week, in Central Hall.
Also for this week we are subsidising £2 for members to go on the Outdoor Soc trip to Richmond (not Ripley!) Castle this Sunday. If you buy the tickets from Outdoor Soc, we will then refund you the £2 at our next meeting.

Here is a copy of the Outdoor Soc information:
The market town of Richmond - from the Norman French riche monte meaning 'strong hill' - has grown up around the Norman Castle which still dominates the town today. Visitors can climb to the top of the keep for magnificent views of the town of Richmond. 
You can also visit the town of Richmond, which is famous for its stunning Georgian architecture and rich history. Richmond, North Yorkshire is a town of unique character and beauty which has changed little through the centuries.

With the variety of shopping and its many pubs, hotels and restaurants, the proximity to the most stunning scenery anywhere to be seen, Richmond remains one of the most beautiful and rewarding places to visit in the Country. Lewis Carroll, the author of 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Through the Looking Glass' went to school here. There is also a museum and some good pubs!

Look at http://www.richmond.org/guide/index.html orhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richmond_Castle for more details.

*You have a choice of:1) a normal long walk which will not involve much sight seeing unless you have time at the end2) a medium walk which will consist of walking and then sight seeing in the afternoon3) just sightseeing

Hi everyone,
Here is an email we were forwarded:

"My name is Claire and I am the new promoter of Mr Yellow, a well-known street performer in York. We are currently re-branding Mr.Yellow, and are looking for new creative input. As such we are offering a competition to all photograhy students. We are looking for new advertising photographs that capture the true essence of Mr Yellow. 

We would like to offer your photography students the chance to have their photographs used as the main images for our new advertising campaign. The winners name will be placed on one of our webpages as the photographer of the images with their contact details. They will be free to use this image in their portfolio for future work within the industry. What we propose is that Mr Yellow comes into your college and does a 30 minute talk to your students about who he is – he is an experienced motivational speaker, and also provides talks on building confidence, as well as de-stressing.. 

Then a couple of days later Mr Yellow will come into the college again and be photographed by each willing student using their own concept. After all prints have beed decided upon, 1 week later Mr Yellow, myself and our web designer will come to the college and choose the winner. The winner’s image may also be used in promo posters and other merchandise. This is an opportunity for your budding photographers to work with real clients in a real-world scenario. I look forward to hearing from you should you be interested.

Kind RegardsMs. Claire RogersSales & Marketing ManagerYellow PromotionsYorkYo23 1AL"

Let us know if you are interested and we will organise this for you!
