I believe that an Area Leader is thinking
of starting a slide folio It is possible that other members of the Club
would like to participate in a similar scheme.
Area 20 has been running a folio for over
15 years now and as far as 1 know it is the only Area currently doing
so. The 11 participants send their slides to Ran Croad together with a
simple card giving details of the. slide such as film, camera and lens
used, time of day that the picture was taken and any other relevant
comments, Each participant has the chance to view the collection of 22
slides in the comfort of their own home, write critical comments of the
slide on the cards and award marks.
The slides and the cards, with their
growing- list of comments, are posted from one folio member to the next.
The marks are sent to the organiser who combines, the results and
eventually declares the~ winner of each folio • Each card and slide
will make a second round together with the table: of marks. This allows
the earlier participants an opportunity to see the comments made by the
earlier ones and everyone can also take a look at the overall results.
Also as each group of slides is going the rounds again, they will be
accompanied by a new batch of slides and the cycle starts all over
again. ~4n additional, feature of the folio is the inclusion of a note
book in which participants enter any comments or questions that they may
have regarding matters not directly related to the individual slides.
The cost of this to each person is no
more than the cost of posting the folio on to the next member, currently
about 8O~ every two months or so. Mark cards and comment cards, are,. of
course, all provided free. For those members who find it difficult to
meet other members in person and share their hobby, this folio has
provided a tremendous form for ideas on photo—techniques and home
processing.
If you are interested in joining in.
please ‘write to the name and address below. Additionally, if any of
you feel a burning desire to help with the day-to-day (or rather the
month-to-month) running of the folio, I shall be only too pleased to
hear from you.
