Creative Special Interest Group September

The first meeting of our Creative Special Interest Group will be 21 September. This gives you time to start thinking about our first Challenge. We will share our images and talk about them at Zoom meetings at 7.30pm on the third Tuesday of each month. 

Images will be shared by sharing screens (we can help you with that). Each member will talk about their own image and then other members will be a part of  the discussion.

Images do not have to be related to the Challenge but you will get brownie points if they do. 

Challenges for this year

21 September – three words (choose none, one, two or all three) – bag, lips, animal

19 October – choose your own book title – children’s books, fiction, non-fiction, etc

16 November – three words (choose none, one, two or all three) – child, light, spoon

See you on 21 September

Creative Competition

Our creative competition to be judged by Kerry Boytell will close on 7 August. Each member can enter two images and we would like entries from everyone. This competition is not part of our pointscore but we all have the opportunity to learn from the judge and we will have a bank of creative images when we make our selection for the interclub competition.

Members who entered images in our Show and Tell can enter the same images, if they wish, with or without alterations.
