Quarterly Competition: Hum this image!
North Walsham Photographic Group began their 2015/16 season with the first quarterly competition at the end of March with the theme of Song Titles. Members rose to the challenge in entertaining and amusing ways, the images ranging from classics such as ‘Drink to me only with thine eyes’, ‘Jailhouse Rock’ and ‘Somewhere over the Rainbow’ through to more modern choices, such as ‘Blurred Lines’ and ‘So Ambitious’. The judge, Malcolm English, entered into the spirit of the theme, but was nonetheless insistent that the song title was accurately reflected in the image and was highly critical if it was not!
There were 3 images which were awarded top score - two of them submitted by the Club’s ‘dynamic duo’, Kev Osborne and Ken Yerrill, who were joint winners not so long ago! Their winning images were ‘Torn’ (Natalie Imbruglia) (Kev) and ‘So Ambitious’ (Jay-Z) (Ken). The 3rd winner was Richard Gambling, unfortunately absent on the evening, but whose image ‘Happy Feet’, from the eponymous movie, was both colourful and joyous! Richard recently took this photograph when he was visiting the annual ‘Lobster Potties’ festival at Sheringham – an unusual angle but one which reflects the song title extremely well.
The next quarterly theme, due to be judged at the start of July, will be ‘Blues’ - a wide-open category which will give huge scope for imagination. If you would like some more information about the club’s activities, please contact the secretary Rachel Farrow on 01692 406526 or email her on NWPGsecretary@yahoo.com
Rock Buns & Rolling Pins WI At our meeting in March, we received a presentation from Slow Food Aylsham followed by the opportunity to take part in their taste adventure.
Slow Food Aylsham are a branch of the international Slow Food movement founded in 1986 and have 100,000 members worldwide. The Aylsham branch works closely with the local schools and the local community running family cooking workshops as well as running themed events throughout the year, including, the taste adventure, cook-a-thons and quiz nights. This year will also see them celebrate their 10th anniversary of the Aylsham Food Festival, a
four day festival of food. Recently a Gala event was run where the catering students from the High School prepared and cooked a five-course meal, they also provided front of house services.
After a brief presentation, we were invited to take part in the taste adventure. There were three types of food to see, three to touch, three to smell and three juices to taste. Some were easier than others, and there were a few surprised reactions when we were informed at the end of the evening of what each guess was. It was an enjoyable and interesting experience and quite a challenge when relying on the senses alone. As there are five Wednesdays in April, we will have
