Quarterly Print Exhibition a great success
The recent exhibition of members work from the last Quarterly competition was very successful in attracting new people to the club, so far we have had seven potential new members turn up to our meetings this time.There were some initial problems with mounts being affected by the rather high temperature in the exhibition hall, but overall the viewing public appeared to very much enjoy the show.
I am currently trying to get permission to put on another exhibition, this time of our annual competition prints and would like to try and make it an even more effective recruitment tool by putting forward the suggestion that we "man it" on a daily basis for the two weeks that it will be on, with volunteers from the membership who may be retired or not working on a particular day.
The idea being that we would talk to people viewing the entries and if they are interested tell them a little about the club and invite them to attend our meetings. A friendly chat one to one and an informative leaflet and syllabus may provide the little extra incentive to people to find out more.
If you have any comments or would like to volunteer your services please let me know.
I will of course be a volunteer myself.
