Committee Members' Night. This is usually set up as a panel Q&A session, but we are open to extending the format. For example, by calling on the expertise of non-committee members and including mini-presentations/demonstrations on topics of interest. To give the night a structure so that we can get the best out of the evening, we thought it might be helpful if you would give us a "steer" in advance. In giving your feedback we have listed some questions (on a questionnaire handed out at the January 28th meeting) which will help us to structure both the Feb 18th evening and next year’s Club programme. If you could complete the form and hand it to Mike or Martyn, we can see how best to plan the evening. Feel free to raise anything you like. It's your Club.

1. Is there anything in particular which the Club could improve on or provide for the enjoyment of our weekly meetings?
2. Does the Club programme have the right balance in terms of competitions, practical nights (including demonstrations), speakers (internal and external) and "battles"? 
3. Are there topics which members would like to see covered which have not been in recent times? This might be addressed by an external speaker or Club member.
4. Are you interested in doing a Club presentation, perhaps with a colleague as a "double act"? If so, what would be the photo subject?
5. As there are sufficient Club members with extensive photographic experience, do you think a training night (perhaps in skill groups) is worth having?
6. Although the Club is not flushed with funds, is there any photo kit which the Club might invest in for Club use? (Note that some books have already been contributed to the Club on Photoshop etc which are available to borrow).
