Those members who joined our Zoom meeting on Thursday night 3rd December will know we had a fantastic evening. There were over 30 attendees with visitors from Cramlington Camera Club, friends, family - and special guests Jim and Margaret Welsh, the President and General Secretary of the Northern Counties Photographic Federation. We were all privileged to see a special award made to our own Howard Wilson APAGB CPAGB/AV.
On behalf of the NCPF, Jim and Margaret presented Howard with the Meritorious Service Award and added his name to the NCPF Roll Of Honour. Jim explained that this special award was made in recognition of over 50 years outstanding service Howard has given to Tynemouth Photographic Society and the NCPF. Jim went on to say that over this time Howard has held just about every position on the TPS Committee serving as President, Vice President, Syllabus Secretary, Competition Secretary and General Secretary, often holding each position on more than one occasion. In addition Howard has been the caretaker of NCPF equipment stored at TPS.
The honour was originally planned to be awarded at the NCPF AGM in March but had to be postponed due to COVID restrictions and the rearranged date of 3rd December took much planning to ensure it was a surprise for Howard!
Howard was extremely pleased and honoured to receive the award, and a framed certificate to mark the event will be presented to Howard as soon as circumstances allow.
I'm sure every member of TPS will join with me in congratulating Howard for this wonderful and well deserved award.

Video Film-Making Group wins the NECA Club Programme Competition - again!

Four members represented the Group when Darlington hosted this year's three-way film competition on 25th February. This event was judged in advance by Ron Prosser, FACI (a former IAC Chairman) and David Fenn (the Chairman of Haywards Heath Movie Makers).
Tynemouth's winning twenty-minute entry consisted of four films - "Whitley Bay Parade" by Trevor Ermel, "An English Summer Day" by Alwyn Scott, "Lesley Brys and Friends" by Jim Shaw and the club film "PC World". Our congratulations go to the film makers involved.
Those of us who attended the Video Group's 50/50 Joint Night in January will remember that these films were part of the evening's entertainment.
We also won this competition last year - here's hoping for a "hat trick" next time!
