Last year we had the lecture via Zoom from Ross McKelvey MPAGB, MFIAP, EFIAP/p, FBPE—a photographer from Northern Ireland, working under the pseudonym Catchlight Studio. This was a great opportunity to see some of his superb images and hear him speak, and was thoroughly enjoyed by members of clubs from throughout the federation.
We are very pleased to be welcoming Ann Greiner MPAGB and Rod Wheelans MPAGB, MFIAP, FRPS, FIPF, HonPAGB, HonSPF from Dumfries in Scotland as guest speakers for our Memorial Lecture on Friday 14th October 2022.
The lecture will be held at 7.30 pm at the Duchess Theatre, Chatsworth Art Centre, West Gate, Long Eaton NG10 1EF.

We will see a great selection of superb prints covering their photography both abroad and here in the UK. Anne and Rod love to travel and really enjoy meeting new people, seeing how they live and taking wonderful portraits of them in their homes or at places of work. There will be plenty of time during the break and after the lecture to view their prints up close.
Between Anne and Rod, over five decades, they have had many thousands of acceptances and several hundred awards in national and international exhibitions. Nowadays, they tend to pick and choose the exhibitions they enter - usually the more difficult ones!
Although Rod is very involved in the organisation of events, he has never lost his love of photography. He makes a print every couple of days and is proud to work with the support of PermaJet.
Anne is a very active member of Dumfries Camera Club and her work has contributed significantly to their wide-ranging success in National and InterClub competitions. She is one of only a few people who have achieved the Credit, Distinction and Master award of the PAGB. Anne is a PAGB listed judge and has judged many international exhibitions. She is a member of the London Salon.
Rod has now retired as a successful professional photographer with a busy studio and was twice MPA Scottish Portrait Photographer of the Year. He joined the Dumfries Camera Club in 1983 and has served as their President three times. He has been a member of the SPF Executive for more than 25 years and has been SPF President. He joined the PAGB Executive in 1990 and served as President 2005-2007 and is now their Hon. Life Vice President. He organised and chaired the PAGB Inter-Club Print Championship from its inception in 1997 until 2016 and the PAGB GB Cup from its inception in 2008 to 2015 but he considers his most important contribution to be as non-voting Chairman of the PAGB Awards for Photographic Merit.
Rod also produces the PAGB e-news and the SPF e-flash. He has previously been a member of the RPS Council and has served on the Associate and Fellowship Panels for Visual Art, Photo Travel and Professional & Applied. Rod is also a member of the London Salon.
We are looking forward to seeing you on 14th October for a very interesting and entertaining evening.
