Christmas Fun

The meeting of the Club on 12th December was the last one before the Christmas break. It was as bit of a fun night with a photography based quiz set by Frank Andrew and the Phone Photo competition. Members could enter one photo taken on their phone. These were displayed on the night and each member present could vote for one photo (but not their own), The winning image was ‘Three Wise Monkeys’ taken by Lorna Thompson. Lorna returned to the club after several year absence and proved that she had not lost her touch. Lorna was also on the winning quiz team with Fred Linney and Hazel Fletcher. They scored a perfect 15 out of 15, just one point ahead of two other teams. Each received a cash prize that turned out to be a bag of chocolate coins.

The festive fun continued on Sunday when members gathered on St Andrews for a photo treasure hunt. At 10.00 a WhatsApp message was sent out to members and their task was to take photos with the theme ‘Red and Gold’. At 11.00 that theme came to an end when a second WhatsApp message changed the theme to ‘Time’. At midday the third and final theme ‘The best of St Andrews’ was broadcast. Members taking part will now have to pick their best photo for each theme and, without any post processing, submit it for a member critique and vote in the New Year.
