Details of two outings arranged for July have now been added to the summer programme.

A trip to Tate Modern to see the Street & Studio photography exhibition, and a trip to Waddesdon Manor near Aylesbury

for the Rothschild Autochromes. Both should be good days out if you can spare the time.

The new programme for 2008-09 has now been published, and can be found here.
In addition, our schedule of informal summer events is also published here.

The end of the 2007-08 programme was marked by an enthusiastic discussion at the AGM, when a new committee was sworn in (see Contacts), and motions affecting the subject matter of future competitions were hotly debated.

The final event was another well-attended dinner at the Grasshopper in Westerham. Prizes and certificates were handed out by retiring chairman Marcus Scott-Taggart in his usual style(!) - you know what I mean.

We have also moved our web hosting to a new company, in order to gain the potential to add more exciting interactive features to the TPS site. Watch this space..

The new programme for 2008-09 will be published here shortly.

With the final round of our projected image competitions now completed, the main competitions for the season have closed, and full results can be examined on our results pages. We can happily report a renewed vigour in our competition entries, with numbers significantly increased, and with many new members joining in the fray.

This year congratulations go to Linda Dance and Brian Lavery for winning a hat-trick of prizes in what have been closely fought matches. Well done to both - now we all have to start working on next year's pictures.

This year TPS has once again being making good progress in the SPA Inter-Club Competition for Prints. On Wednesday 12th we won the match against Capel CC (Capel CC 81½ – Tandridge PS 87). So, we now go on to the final, which is being held on Saturday 17th May:

• Venue: Mole Hall, Bishop Fox Way, West Molesey, Surrey KT8 2RE (Note: the postode printed in the March Newsletter is incorrect)
• Time: TBA
• Judge: Roger Force FRPS

The TPS site has had a minor revamp - a link to our Flickr group has now been added to the menu, in place of the now defunct MSN message board. Any TPS member can join the group by first signing up with Flickr (its free!), and then clicking the Join This Group link on the main TPS page. The Flickr group offers a public showcase for any members pictures, and a private discussion forum (not accessible to non-members).

Another change is that older news items and all recent newsletters have been made available via a new Archive page, referenced at the bottom of the main menu.

Our recent digital Chinese Whispers round has just completed - you can see the resultant pictures here.

The club newsletter for December has now been published - you can download it here.

• Prints : Chertsey CC 78½, Tandridge PS 81
• Slides : Chertsey CC 79½, Tandridge PS 76½

Marie-Ange Bouchard and Brian Smith successfully submitted their panels of 10 prints for assessment by the RPS judges in Bath - the panels are now viewable in our Galleries section.
Both Marie-Ange and Brian will be happy to accept congratulatory drinks at any of the summer pub meetings!

With the conclusion of our AGM we have now reached the end of the official programme for 2006-7; all the competition results are now in, and can be seen here. Congratulations to all the new trophy holders. Trophies and cups will be presented at our annual dinner on June 7th.
We're not quite done for the year, however. Our summer programme of informal meetings and outings has now been published, to keep us all busy.
As a result of the AGM, there have been some changes in the club committee officers, and these will be posted on the Contacts page shortly.

The simplicity of digital cameras combined with home computers has opened-up serious photography to a whole new group of enthusiasts. You can now make competition quality pictures without locking yourself in a darkroom for hours on end. The recent increase in the membership of TPS is a testament to the widening interest in the subject.

On Thursday 25th January TPS held its first audio-visual (AV) members evening, for showing AV presentations produced by members using still images and accompanying musical soundtracks. With 12 digital AVs submitted, plus one traditional slideshow, the evening was judged a resounding success, and a tribute to the enthusiasm and talent of our members. More details here.
