Have you been attending our monthly ZOOM meetings? I wouldn’t miss one. Learned presentations by our members are offered nine times throughout the year. Even if the subject matter does not coincide with your collecting interest the learning experience is well worthwhile. It is obvious from the Q&A periods that these presentations are well received. You might even be surprised how they might give you tips and maybe even tie into your own collection. Give it a try, I am sure you will enjoy them. We have yet to break the 50-member attendee barrier, let’s close out 2023 by doing so.
The December meeting is our Annual One Frame Competition. We have 10 entries, some of which can be viewed on our website and the remainder will be uploaded shortly. You can view them at your leisure, and you can pick your favourite to be voted on at the meeting. Judging is ongoing by the jury of Robert Pinet and John Wilson. I hope to see you then.
Regards,
Bob
