01 December 2022 (Quiz Night)

The annual quiz was held during last Thursday’s session. Stephen Williamson had prepared eight rounds of questions on a variety of subjects covering Science, Literature, Geography, Sport, Arts & Entertainment, General Knowledge and two rounds on Photography. Astonishingly, I won, but that may have been down to others applying a sneeky strategy to avoid having to set the questions for next year’s quiz! The quiz was followed by time for a coffee and chat, including some information on where various wildlife might be seen.

I have received an email enquiry offering an “unwanted” Photographic Enlarger along with various accessories for producing mono prints. If you are interested, I can give you the contact details.

There are currently three photography exhibitions running at the City Arts Centre (on Market Street behind the Waverley Station) that may be of interest. They have a Mimi’s Bakehouse on the ground floor, in case you need further inducement.

1) Glean: Early 20th Century women filmmakers and photographers in Scotland

2) Paul Duke: No Ruined Stone

3) Ron O’Donnell     Edinburgh: A Lost World

Next Thursday (8th Dec) we have a presentation (with Beeslack and Earlston Camera Clubs) from Julian Elliot. Please Note this is due to start at 7.15pm.
