QPCC Office Bearers & Committee Members 2020-21


Picture
President & Trustee: Maureen Anderson
 
As President, my main role is to welcome and introduce guest speakers and judges to club meetings. I also chair all Trustee and committee meetings and ensure that the club meets its obligations to its members and the Scottish charity regulator.

I joined QPCC in 2008 and have enjoyed learning about a wide range of photography. In 2016 I took on the role of Syllabus Secretary and in 2017, took on the additional position of Vice President, which involved deputising for the President where necessary and delivering the vote of thanks speech to visiting speakers and judges. On becoming President, I have temporarily continued to fill the role of Syllabus Secretary.

Vice President & Trustee: Sandy Gilmour

The Vice President role involves deputising for the President where necessary and delivering the vote of thanks speech to visiting speakers and judges.

Picture
Club Secretary & Trustee: Alan Forbes

The Club Secretary's main duty is to record and promptly distribute the minutes of all committee and general meetings and highlight all the action points for committee members.

He also conducts all official correspondence on behalf of the club except for those matters that may be delegated to appropriate committee members.

Picture
Treasurer & Trustee: Claire Milligan

As the current Treasurer of the Queen’s Park Camera Club, my primary role is to record all of the financial transactions undertaken by the Club throughout the year. The status of the finances is presented to club committee at the monthly committee meeting. I also prepare the audited Annual Accounts which are presented to the membership for review and comments/discussion at the Annual General Meeting.

Despite having owned cameras since childhood, over the years I have produced only albums of snapshots. However, I think photography may be in the genes: my father was a keen amateur photographer who turned the attic of our home into a photographic studio with a darkroom. I finally began to take an interest in learning how to take photographs properly only a couple of years ago, joining QPCC in 2014. And now I’m hooked!

Picture
Membership Secretary & Trustee: Jan Whiteside

The responsibilities of the Membership Secretary are to ensure that the membership list is current with all categories of membership and that contact details are up to date and shared with the Treasurer and IT Convener. She also maintains the waiting list of potential new members and contacts them when vacancies occur following attendance reviews. At the start of the new photographic season, new members to QPCC are invited to attend a New Members Social Evening, hosted by the President and the Membership Secretary, where they can get to know each other, be briefed and ask questions on the many and varied activities of QPCC. Additionally, all new and rejoining members are invited to attend the Registration Evening on the Thursday before the start of every new season, where they are registered, their membership fee collected by the Treasurer and issued with a copy of the new season syllabus.

Picture
Syllabus Secretary: Maureen Anderson

The role of the Syllabus Secretary is to plan, develop and organise the future program of events for QPCC’s weekly Thursday evening meetings. In addition to timetabling the regular club features such as competitions and presentations by QPCC members and social occasions, it also involves engaging around a dozen speakers each season to give lectures to the club on different aspects of photography.

"As well as the regular presentations, competitions and social occasions, I will be on the lookout for speakers.  I know that within our membership there is a wide range of photographic interests so I would be pleased to hear your recommendations for speakers and topics. Please let me know your suggestions – either in person or email me (see the website committee contact page)".

Picture
Syllabus Facilitator: Bob Collins

As Syllabus Facilitator, my function is to contact each speaker about two weeks in advance of their presentation to ensure that they know the location of our Club Rooms.

Also, if they are going to be travelling a distance, they would be offered the opportunity of having something to eat before the meeting, in which case, I would accompany them for a meal locally at the Club's expense.

My final duty is to send a letter or email expressing our thanks on behalf of our members for making the evening so successful.

Picture
Print Exhibition Secretary: Sheila Clark

As Exhibition Secretary for prints, my main role in the club is to collect entries for the various internal print competitions held during the season. Entries can be handed to me any time up to and including the ringed date in the syllabus. Once collated, they are delivered to the judge. I also collect entries for any external competitions which are held at various times during the season.

I joined the club in 1993 and by coming along to various groups and entering the competitions I have developed my photography skills. I enjoy general photography and in the club I am known for my photography of The Royal Family, which is an interest I have had since the age of four. I use my photography in my job as a Home Economics teacher to record, in particular, the cakes produced by pupils in the department.  From time to time I photograph other events in the school and have taken the school prom photos for a number of years.

Picture
Projected Image Exhibition Secretary: Stewart Webb

With a membership of nearly 100 members, many of whom are active in both internal and external competitions, the role of the Projected Image (PI) Exhibition Secretary is quite a busy one. Over the course of the year the club runs several internal competitions and also participates in a number of inter-club and national events.

The PI Exhibition Secretary collates all the competition entries from club members and ensures
that image submissions conform to all rules and regulations and sizing and titling conventions, before onward delivery for assessment. He/she also participates in the Image Review Group, which reviews and offers advice on images submitted by members and the Awards, Competitions and Exhibitions (ACE) Group, which selects images that should represent the club in external competitions.
