Well we have come to the end of another year. All Clubs in the Region have certainly done well in the Honours, Salons, PSSA Web site competition and PSSA Monthly Club Winning Image and I congratulate you all in all these achievements. Please continue to support PSSA in as many ways as you can in the coming year. Well done to the Clubs who have also ran very successful Salons and hopefully still to do so in 2014.
So that we can keep abreast with the goings on of the Clubs and PSSA, I would like you as a Club to always include me in your Newsletters etc. I will be sending out a survey to all members of PSSA soon – this survey will be completely anonymous albeit you will have the chance to add your name if you so wish. This survey will be geared to the furtherance and benefits to us all as members of PSSA. You will be allowed to have your say with regard all matters within PSSA. I would strongly recommend that you participate in this survey – if you feel we are doing something wrong and can improve on anything, the only way to do it is to have your say – positive and negative. We would also like to hear the positives about PSSA Please.
You will see I am attaching the Programme for the Gauteng North Congress which will be held on 25 JANUARY 2014 – please also note the change of venue. Anton has done a great job in setting this up and I cannot thank him enough. It is at this event that the results of the Inter Club will be announced. Thank you once again to the clubs that participated. PLEASE PUT THIS IN YOUR DIARY NOW. You will see there are some very interesting speakers on board – we can learn such a lot from all of them.
I would like to wish you and your families a very Blessed Christmas and a Prosperous New Year, may all your dreams come true, may father Xmas bring you that long wanted new camera or lens whatever is on your wish list. May you have lots of photographic opportunities, lots of winners for you and your club but most of all enjoy this wonderful hobby that we have.
Thank you for the continued support you have given me over these past 6 months, I so enjoy visiting and judging when necessary at your Clubs as I feel privileged to view the wonderful work being done in the clubs. We can be very proud of our Clubs in this Region.
