New Website Launched!

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

As you have probably (hopefully) noticed, the Nottingham Outlaws now have a brand new shiny website.
The idea is to make the site a much more central part of the club, with regular updates on what’s coming up in the following weeks, recaps on competitions, and interesting ideas from the members themselves. If you are interested in contributing content to the site, let us know and we’ll sort you out with some details.

Feel free to have a poke around, check out the gallery pages, and let us know when you find something broken!.

Things to do on a no meeting night

Monday, March 15th, 2010

There is no official meeting on Thursday this week due to there being a committee meeting, but a few members have arranged alternative activities.
I believe the committee meeting is being used to choose prints for the James Maude Battle.

Chris is arranging a night visit to an abandoned stately home somewhere for long exposure and light painting fun. See Chris for details.

Coming Up Next Week

Next week is the Digital Slide Battle – James Maude Camera Club Away Leg (Mansfield). This is on Tuesday 9th in Mansfield.

We have done a preliminary suggestion to some members for their entries to the 2010 NEMPF Exhibition.

The closing date for entries to be given to NEMPF is 30th October 2009, therefore the club needs to make sure we have them collated at the club by 22nd October, this will give the club organisers to get the paperwork etc in order.
