Meeting Report February 2004
As is now tradition, February�s meeting is devoted to the annual slide competition for the Colin Viney Trophy. Our wining six slides will be entered into the Douglas Ridley Chesterton Slide Competition held in May and attracting entrants from branches in the South East of England area. The number of members competing was up on past years with 8 entrants. The choice however becomes more difficult by the year as the content and quality reaches such a high standard. The entrants were Roy Leach, Ken Bottoms, Tony Hogwood, Ray Smith, David Berg, David Brown, Ian Wells and Roy Kittle.
Forty eight views of a very diverse selection of ship types from bulkers to tugs, cruise ships to sailing ships including the first slide of QM2 seen at the branch.
The slides were mainly taken in northern European waters and their subsequent details and histories kept us occupied for the rest of the evening.
