This Week - Fish and Chips!
Please remember to bring your own drinks (glasses will be provided). There will be some salt, pepper and vinegar, as well as tartare sauce. However, you may wish to bring other condiments. David is devising a quiz, and Mary will be presenting the Club Salon awards. 39 of us are going, so it should be a good evening.
NB, though: as we could not meet last week, there are quite a few members who have still to pay for their fish and chips. If you are among them, please seek Criss out and pay her as soon as you arrive.
Also NB: this Friday is the final hand-in date for the Mid-Somerset Battle. Print or digital, open subject. Please help David out by bringing your best prints on Friday, or sending digital images (1400 x 1050) to fwccbattles@gmail.com.

​Sad News
It is with great sadness that we report the death of Geoff Eynon. A founder member of FWCC, and an active member and great helper of the Club for over 30 years, Geoff passed away in his sleep on 27th January. He will be much missed by all who knew him, and our hearts go out to his family.

This week's meeting
We are hosts to Frome Video Club. They will show us some of their recent work, and various FWCC members will be talking about prints. A friendly and convivial evening may be expected - perhaps with some delights and surprises - who knows?
This Friday is also the hand-in deadline for the Open Digital competition to be judged by Peter Weaver on 15th February. Your entries, correctly sized and labelled (see https://www.fromewessexcameraclub.com/competition-rules.html) must be sent to fwccdigital@gmail.com before midnight on 1st February.
And it's your last chance to book and pay for the Fish & Chip supper next week (8th February). £5 for members, £8.50 for partners, to Criss, please.

Battle news
Please let David have your best images for the coming battle with Mid-Somerset. He has extended the deadline: prints need to be handed in and digital images to be e-mailed by Friday 8th Feb to fwccbattles@gmail.com. The selection will be made during the week beginning 11th February.
