EDITORIAL

Once again our thanks to Roy Salmons for producing a very nice quality and colourfully printed newsletter. It is really nice to be able to present member’s slides and prints in good quality and to whatever percentage of colour pages as we may require. 

The Mug Shots on page 3 prove that we do have enough people waiting to be officially voted into office. As I write we haven’t heard from Sandra as to whether she wishes to remain as Treasurer and also from Kevin as to his remaining as Area 9 Co-ordinator. Mrs. Margaret Salmons has kindly offered to take this post on. The transfer of ex Area 20 members into Area 3+ has been very successful with very few members not renewing their subscriptions. A number of other members from other areas have also decided to join Area 3+. While e have lost a number of members and our overall numbers are down there are still plenty of interested members in the Club to keep it solvent and if we can get ourselves reorganised quickly there is no reason why the C.R.C. Shouldn’t continue to exist and stay successful. It really is all up to "OURSELVES". More and more members are accepting Digital Imaging and combining it with their Silver Image & Chemical Processing work proving there is plenty of scope for both systems to work side by side for a long time yet. 

Themes are very popular and inside these pages you will find two such pictorials. John Pearle shows how you can photograph the same subject many times and from many angles and builds up a pictorial story of the subject. Yours truly does likewise with scenes from the Isle of Skye, both in daylight and in night time exposures. Roy Salmons continues his interesting CRC ABC while our Cobbler’s Page tells of how our memories can fool us when going back to a particular place to try and recapture a favourite photo/slide from nearly three decades back. And, of course, neither the weather nor the surrounding countryside was exactly the same. Brian also reminisces over photographic dealers of the past and of using an old processing chemical that really worked for him. 

The concluding article from Mike Puttick examines the differences between Jessop’s own brand of E6 Kit against Chrome Six Kit and presents some really nice slides to prove his case. The kits are very similar but Jessop’s kit allows slightly more chemicals to be made up that can be an advantage to increasing the amount of films you can process from the kit and/or fill your developing tank to allow three films to be processed at one time. 

And so another CRCN is concluded. Finding copy is still very slow but more of you responded this time around and I hop that you will continue to support your editor and the Newsletter. It is not possible to confirm whether there will be a Didcot Meeting in October but once my annual leave is over I shall be working out my work schedule to see if it will be possible. WE shall send you details as soon as it is known.
