This weeks meeting

Hi all,

At this week's meeting we will be discussing our progression within the project so far. Please bring along any work that you have already as well as any research you have to show the other members.

We will be discussing the fund raising event that is this coming saturday, I will blog tomorrow on the exact location, all members will be given directions for the location too.

If you wish to donate anything towards the raffle please bring it along this Wednesday so I can see exactly what we have to give away. I went to Durham across the weekend and went to every single shop/stall and have managed to collect a wide variety of things! lots of lovely things for the raffle.

After we have all finished discussing each members project I will organise the group to go to the church to take photographs, we will do this again later on in the year to be able to draw comparison between the seasons.

Email me if you need anything!

The carnival went very well, thank you to the members that helped on the days and a big than you to my mum and dad who came to support and generally be of help and support across the weekend. We pushed the PPA a great deal so fingers crossed we will see more than one new member tonight.

Peterlee Carnival

Hi all,

I have been given the role as official photographer for the Peterlee Carnival and in return I am receiving a free stall to take portraits as well as to promote the PPA. I need volunteers, as I will be out and about I need to have a couple of people to stay at the stall and photograph the public if they want a portrait taken. Could anyone help?? there will be a cuppa in it for you!

After securing the full £500 from the Heritage Coast I am struggling to find a bank that will let me open an account! It will get sorted very soon but is irritating!

Last weeks meeting went very well and the boxers really enjoyed us being there. I hope to be seeing them again soon.

Meeting 24th August

Hi all,

Tomorrow night we have a couple of things to go through, all exciting stuff as usual. We are also going to be photographing the ABC boxing club from 7pm onwards so that gives us 30 minutes to discuss everything that has been happening for us.

Please bring your cameras along as well as any photographs you may have printed this week.

I hope everyone can make it along as its going to be very informative about the book as well as the night we are arranging.

See you tomorrow
