If you’d like to know more about us or want to speak with someone before coming to a Club night, please contact any of the club officers on the contacts page.
Who does what?
- Chairman: Our chairman is Catherine Greenhough. She is the winner of the Suffolk Wildlife Trust’s photographic competition 2009 and Catherine’s picture has appeared on local TV and in local and national newspapers. (Pretty good for someone who was a complete novice just over a year ago.)
- Vice chairman: Our vice chairman is Viv Turner. She joined as a complete novice and went on to win an externally judged, set-subject competition.
- Club Secretary: Our Club secretary is Paul Rogers. He is famous for groan jokes and claims he has no artistic talent and ‘sees’ pictures in a scientific way, but produces some great pictures nonetheless.
- Treasurer: This post is vacant, but the money is looked after by Mike Wraight. Mike prefers straight images that haven’t had any manipulation.
- Programme Secretary: Our programme is put together by Alan Sarsby. He is a bit of a technical bod and likes to experiment with images. If you have an idea for a talk or project please let him know. If you’re a speaker or judge looking for a gig — drop him a line via the contacts page.
- Website officer: Alan Sarsby is also temporary web editor.
