Banging the drum for the group!

WAVE THE FLAG

BANG the DRUM

Cheer on the WINNERS

Considered it most important to let the whole group know that we have achieved  more than 100 group members, in LESS than 10 months of the group being formed.

I now feel that I can approach Cheshire East Council to say a big thank you for their help and funding in being able to get to this number so quickly, and see if they can help the group to hold an Open Day, to show others just what we have achieved, and hopefully, get even more new group members.

Middlewich Town Council have also played their part as they were the first to provide group funding, and have also with the Town Mayor Paul Edwards and his wife Sonya visited the group to view progress.

We are getting  new members each month so it is also important that members have offered their help so we are best able to keep up this initial momentum, so for our new members are the names of group members who are willing to take on particular group tasks in order to shed the load, and move even more ahead.

Therefore, at meetings and group photo outings the below people will also provide help and assistance.

Melody Smith....................Group Webmaster....Designing and Creating the Group Web Page.

Brian Roberts....................Committee Member....Brian has a many tasks and is normally on the door.

Les Oakley.......................Meet & Greet at the main entrance door, and during meetings / outings.

Mal Wetton.......................Meet & Greet at the main entrance door, and during meetings / outings.

Mal Wetton.......................Is the first contact for technical and camera setting information / guidance & help.

Peter Cross........................Peter will help to organise the group meeting room before and after meetings.

Barbara Astles...................Committee Member, main entrance registration of members / refreshments.

Ken Rane..........................Ken is reviewing the photo software needed on the Training Laptop.

Antony West.....................Antony has offered to create all future marketing Flyers with Cliff Astles.

By spreading the administration and group organisation we believe this is the best way to help the group develop, and more of this type of spreading the load will happen as the group develops. 

Members with time and energy available to give to the group can make contact with myself via the group mail so I can offer "jobs" to members as they occur.e-mail is 21stctncg@gmail.com.

I hope that all members can continue to attend our monthly group meetings at the Willowmere-Middlewich as this is the ONLY ( apart from Grants) WAY in which the group can be sustained in the future.

The TRAINING LAPTOP will be purchased during the next few weeks and will be a high specification Laptop and will have installed on it as much of the latest photo post processing software we can afford to buy, plus a number of other photo related software packages. A person will be needed to be responsible for the use of this expensive group facility. Exact use to be finally decided by group discussion.
