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.
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.

Our first panel competition has been held and the seven panels that were entered were of good quality, Peter Cheetham, the judge, gave contructive comments to all images and panels and some very good pointers for future panels.
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.
Please can all members who are entering go to http://www.nempf.org.uk and review the rules and print off and fill in the entry forms for their images, and bring them to the club with your images to club before or on 22nd October 2009.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask .
