I agree Sean. I also think that the website should be used to support that, so you have your demo or tutorial at the meeting, but then also have the tutorial available online for members so people can come back to the info shown.

Macro demos? Flash tutes? How to optimize the use of particular lenses and focal lengths?

Personally, since the convention I’ve been more inspired to get out and shoot than ever. Pete, Suz and myself usually are out shooting somewhere most weekends now, where before I’d be lucky to pick up the camera once a week, now if I don’t pick it up every day, something is up. Like Wayne, I thought the last meeting was quite eventful, there was certainly lots of discussion, and I think there’ll probably be some changes to competition as a result. People don’t know how to keep in contact with each other, barring at the monthly meetings, so maybe a push is needed to let people know that there is A facebook group ß although Facebook is in fact Satan incarnate. A flickr group An email list And if I have my way J a website forum. Try and get a bit of interaction going on.
