On January 24th we held our first in person evaluation meeting since the pandemic began. This meeting was held at The Thompson Community Centre. This was a “Print Evaluation Night”. All members that choose to participate could submit up to three printed images. In total our members provided 43 images for evaluation. We had 24 members attend this in person evaluation.
The CAPA judge that was present to evaluate the images was Allen Bargen. Allen is a Life Member of CAPA. He is also a past president of CAPA and holds FCAPA and Hon FCAPA Honours. It was a pleasure to have him attend our first “in person” evaluation meeting in over two years! His evaluation was thoughtful, informative, humorous when appropriate and extremely educational.
As each print was evaluated by Allen we simultaneously displayed a digital image onto a large monitor. This way all members in the audience could view the image during Allen’s evaluation.
It was a wonderful evening and provided all those that attended with a printed version of their image that can be used in upcoming “Print” showings as well as a digital version for inclusion in future online competition and events.
A number of club members received advancement to a higher level within our club based on results they received during this meeting. These members are:
• George Sandors, Richard Juren and Susan Olsen received 5 gold and 10 silver or gold over time to move from Intermediate to Advanced.
• Albert Tsai needed 1 gold and got 2 golds this month for a total of the required 10 gold and 20 gold or silver, therefore, he moves from Advanced to Master.
• Neil le Nobel needed 3 golds and got 3 golds this month. He moves from Advanced to Master.
Congratulations to these club members for their outstanding work!
Thank you very much Allen for your participation in this event! Your comments provided many learning moments!
