It is with sadness that we have learnt of the passing of Terrick Meakin ARPS founder of the Crown Monochrome Group and life member.
Terrick inspired many of our members and was a wizard in the Darkroom, he lead us all with great enthusiasm for many years.
He was a member of the RPS and was a lecturer for Fotospeed and the WCPF.
Known through out the club world for his printing and he always had a great story to tell.
He leaves a son David.
He will be missed.

Kevin Walters.
Finding Mojo.
My preference is not to show and describe individual prints on a single light stand, but to lay out a collection of prints and invite members to come forward to take a closer look.
I think photographs should speak for themselves, and club members are knowledgeable enough to decide for themselves what they like and dislike.
This looks to be an interesting evening.
