| Meeting Report February 2006 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| February�s meeting is devoted to the annual slide competition for the Colin Viney Trophy. Our wining six slides will be entered into the Leslie Sargeant Slide Competition held in May and covering branches in the South East of England area. The number competing was down on past years with only 4 entrants. We can only speculate on the reasons but sickness and the move to digital photography has played a part. The choice however becomes more difficult by the year as the content and quality reaches such high standards as can be seen by the results below, only 5 points separating the top ten slides. The entrants were, Tony Hogwood, Ray Smith, David Berg, and Ian Wells who gave us twenty-four views of a very diverse selection of ship types from bulkers to cruise ships to container ships and reefers. The slides were mainly taken in northern European waters with one set from Shanghai. Thanks to Ian Wells who mentally computed the result during a longer than normal break. The ships subsequent details and histories kept us occupied for the rest of the evening. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
