Whats coming this month at The Camera Club
Last month we managed to send most of you the newsletter and as we clean up our data and dig through the covid-strewn rubble we're finding more of our membership every day. If you know someone who is a member who ISN'T getting the newsletter please LET US KNOW and we'll fix it as soon as possible.

URGENT REQUEST: Help the club recover from Covid
As you know the club is run by volunteers several of whom act as stewards staffing the club so that we are able to open for bookings. Unfortunately we lost a number of stewards who have not returned since lockdown and as a result there are, at times, considerable gaps were the club is unable to open.
Stewards receive 25 points per session that can be used as payment for club facilities.
Sessions are 10.30 - 2.30 / 2.30 - 6.30 / 6.30 - 10.00 weekdays and 9.30 - 2.00 / 2.00 - 6.00 weekends.
Earning points is not the only benefit, you will also have the opportunity to meet with other members and share tips and advice regarding your photography and darkroom work.
So if you can spare even one session per month it would really help to cover as many shifts as possible and also importantly, help relieve the current body of stewards, several of whom are picking up multiple shifts to keep the club open, for which we should all be grateful.
To apply to be a steward please comment on this post or contact paulfcm16@aol.com
