-Dear VIPC member,

The website will be undergoing some changes.

Unfortunately, due to a late issue, Daniel is not able to give his presentation on Sunday.

There will therefore not be a meeting and the next club meeting will be on 1st June at Puntazo / on Teams for the critique of the Travel challenge". 

We will have our second Joint meeting with the Gateway Camera Club in the US on 22nd June.  The plan for this year is slightly different to last year.  This year, we are inviting our members to choose their own image to be shown on the day.  Each member who has an image shown will be expected to give a short description/explanation about their image.  This will be followed by comments or a short discussion from those attending the meeting.  If you do not wish to talk at the meeting or are unable to do so, you can prepare a written statement and ask someone else to present it for you.  The meeting will be in English.

Last years event was a great success but we were a victim of or own success, with the meeting over-running considerably.  This year we will have 20 images per club (24 last year) and also ask members to limit their presentation to no more than one minute.

To prepare for this event, please can you send one, preferably, two images to the usual place - images@veraphotoclub.org with a subject title of USA images and filenames of your name01, your name 02 to reflect your preference order.  It is anticipated that one image per member will be shown on the day but the second may be shown if we receive fewer than 20 submissions. 

Please DO NOT send more than 2 images.  

The aim of the event, like last year, is to give the Americans a flavour of photography in Europe and vice versa.  Therefore, in selecting your images, please confine your images to those taken in Europe, not worldwide.  There is no restriction on subject, type of photo, etc. so you can include creative imagery, portraits, pretty well anything - the only restriction is geographic.

Please can you submit your images by 1st June.
