2. Minutes of last meeting:-
The minutes of the Committee meeting held on 3rd December 2008, were circulated. Some spellings mistakes were corrected. The minutes were approved by the meeting and signed by the Chairman.
3. Matters Arising:-
Tony Oliver reported that the studio evening at Trinity Photography was attended by nine members who had a very interesting evening.
The Sanger Trophy evening proved to be very successful. This was a learning exercise regarding the projector and the emailed entries, some of which came in after the closing date. These were however included.
A number of club members attended the Fordingbridge Digital Image Competition to see how the club got on. Some of the images entered by the other clubs taking part were not new work and had been seen many times before in some form or other. As we used all new work we were not the winner, but it was a good evening.
The tea rota has still not been sorted; Tony said he would attend to it ASAP.
A stand in for Richard to operate the equipment is on-going and will be sorted when the equipment to be used is finalised.
There were no other matters arising

5. Secretary's Report: -
Richard received the minutes of the last SPF quarterly meeting and the agenda for the next one on the 12th February. All other communications to the club had been received by email. These had either been replied to, or forwarded to the Chairman and/or Peter Read to post on the SCC web site News
6. Bi-monthly Competitions:-
As Rose was not present, Richard said that he had printed all the latest information and it was on the notice board.
Richard had produced an outline programme for 2009/2010 showing dates for the lectures competitions and club evenings, this was discussed and it was decided to swap a number of dates. There was some discussion on whether the club year should be extended in to June, this was not resolved. Tony said he would ask the members at the next meeting. Richard will produce a revised outline programme.
Peter suggested that the club should run workshops for beginners on the style of Winchester PS’s, the details are on their web site. It was agreed that this would be a good idea. After some discussion it was decided that the club should look into the possibility of having the workshops prior to the start of some normal club evenings, as this would reduce the cost. If we were to have them on a different day the cost of and finding a venue may put members off.
Phil pointed out that the committee needed to encourage new members to stand for election onto the committee at the next A.G.M. It was agreed that Tony would produce a poster to put on the notice board, inviting members to put their names forward prior to the A.G.M. or at least ask any member of the committee what it involved.
