Annual Report
The president presented the annual report,
The main content of the report related to

- the year’s activities including acknowledgement of the high standard of photography we’d produced, and judging we’d experienced through the year;
- the need to ensure our Exhibition is successful to offset expenses and keep subs down; and
- a farewell and thanks to Kevin Morgan who has retired from the committee after 30 years continuous service in various roles.
