Doylestown Photo Club

New Location for Club Meetings

admin — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 11:55:39 +0000

The Doylestown Photography Club is excited to begin our 2010-2011 calendar year on September 2nd! The club has grown and flourished, and the group has become much larger and has even more ambitions for the future. The Steering Committee has listened to your feedback and we have heard your requests for more dialogue about images through show-and-tell, more sharing of tips and tricks, and more mentoring and critique sessions.

At the same time, Charley has experienced a recent rent increase, which he is also obliged to pass along to the club. Unfortunately, this would have required a significant dues increase, which we wished to avoid. As a result, the club is announcing a new location for the club’s monthly meetings. Beginning on September 2nd, the Doylestown Photography Club will meet in the lower-level conference room of the Covenant Church. The address is 4000 Route 202, Doylestown, PA 18902. The building is located between Mechanicsville Road and Route 202, with entrances on both roads.

It is with deep regret and with much appreciation for Charley’s efforts and hospitality that we leave our former location which we enjoyed, but we believe the new meeting location will allow us more room to exchange comments and ideas and to see one another’s work. In addition, the new location has ample parking, bright parking-lot lights, easy access to restrooms and comfy chairs! The Covenant Church is also centrally located for our members.

If you haven’t already done so, please see the club forum for instructions on how to mail your dues before the meeting to save time. If you need to pay your annual dues at the meeting, please arrive early between 6:00 and 6:30. We will start the meeting at 7:00 p.m. as always, but folks can arrive as early as 6:00 p.m if you would like to help set-up or just chat about photography. We look forward to seeing you on September 2nd!

–Steering Committee, DPC

Annual Membership Dues

admin — Tue, 17 Aug 2010 12:59:09 +0000

As discussed at our last meeting, the annual dues will be collected in September instead of on individual anniversary dates. We ask that each member send payment to DOYLESTOWN PHOTOGRAPHY CLUB at this address:

Doylestown Photography Club

P.O. Box 22, Fountainville, PA 18923

Please submit payment on or before September 1. This change in payment plan will help us reach the demands of our growing organization. Dues for the year 2010-2011 are $50.00. To help keep our meeting time productive, we strongly encourage you to pay your membership dues BY MAIL prior to our September meeting.

If you are unable to do so, please arrive early between 6:00-6:30 pm. We will accept check or cash at the door. The doors will close by 7:15 so everyone can enjoy the meeting. New name badges with our logo will be available at the first meeting for anyone who prepaid their dues. Just a reminder, if you bring a visitor to the meeting, there will be a $10 charge. If you have membership questions, please contact Linda Prisco at linda.prisco@verizon.net. We look forward to seeing everyone again in September!

Sincerely, The DPC Steering Committee

Update on June Field Trip Plan (from Henry)

admin — Tue, 15 Jun 2010 13:29:21 +0000

I got some additional information from the folks running the balloon festival in Chester County that I have posted below. It doesn’t strike me that they have enough balloons to make for a decent field trip though others may disagree.

Debbie Derrick has suggested that we go to Philips Mill as a group as it doesn’t appear that they are going to do a “club” night this year. Perhaps instead of driving to Chester County this is would be a better group activity. How does meeting at Philips Mill at 7:00 PM on Friday, June 18th sound?

From the balloon festival organizer in response to my e-mail query about the event…….

“You can find all the information regarding the festival including the schedule at www.ccballoonfest.com .

There will be a launch Friday eve around 6:00 pm but I cannot tell you how many. Only the balloons with booked flights will fly.

Around 8:00 they will begin setting up for the Glow. That will be minum 8 balloons.

On Saturday the ascension is scheduled for approx 6:00 with 18+ balloons then some special shapes will be set up for display afterwards.”
