Firstly I would like to express my pleasure at being invited back onto the committee after a four-year gap, and to find things in such a healthy state. Credit for this must go to the committee for the enthusiastic way they undertake the many tasks that have to be done to make a club like this operate, and to the inspiring leadership of the retiring president Peter Rocchiccioli.

The programme for the coming year includes a mixture of competitions both within our membership and against other clubs. We have some excellent visiting speakers booked, but we have also made space for more of the ever-popular "members evenings", where our own members share their own experience and knowledge.

We cater for all types of photographic media, from monochrome, colour prints, slides, digitally created prints and more recently digitally projected images. Due to the great foresight and hard work by Peter Rocchiccioli we have been allocated a grant of more than seven thousand pounds from the "Awards for all England" lottery fund to obtain some quality digital projection equipment, which will be used within the club, and around Hayling to encourage the art of photography.

I would also like to thank our regular sponsors for their encouragement which helps us to run the club whilst keeping the membership fee at a very moderate level.

Photographers of all standards are welcome, from beginner to the more experienced, and I can promise that we will do our best to make you welcome to our warm and friendly club.
