Our first BBQ at Keith McLean’s farm was a great success with over 25 participants. Hopefully this will be an annual event. We had beautiful sunny weather and lots of opportunities to take photos of the large Lotus ponds (second to none in Canada to my knowledge) and the many flowers.

A huge Thank You goes out to Keith McLean for his generosity in providing his property for our picnic. Also a well deserved Thank You to Martha Gillier for not only arranging for all the food, condiments and snacks, but also for personally grilling all the sausages and burgers on the BBQ.

A reminder about the meeting Saturday at 11:00am at the Chatham Chrysler Dealership Boardroom. Please make sure Glen has your photos from the Parrot shoot in his posession before Friday so he can get them onto a CD. Also, if you want to show a few, he will need to know which ones, and get them onto the laptop.

This time around we celebrate Herman Giethoorn, a long standing Member of the Chatham Camera Club. Although a man of many Photographic skills we concentrate this “Photo in Focus” on his skills as a “Macro” expert. Congratulation Herman!
