PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY: The first meeting of the year was President’s Evening. Pat Broad, ARPS, EFIAP, President of HPS, kindly supplied plenty of food and drink which gave a Party feeling to the New Year’s first meeting. Pat showed parts of her life in photos from where she was born and lived in Devon as a child, through to learning to fly and glide with her husband Ron. There were a few mishaps along the way shown in photos and drawings which brought a smile to every face. The second half of the evening Pat showed in Audio Visual form her photography and some of Hugh Milsom’s, taken during visits across the world including Iceland, Yellow Stone Park and other photographic group trips. Members were treated to an amazing array of photography. A great start to 2017 and the Club would like to thank Pat for her generosity and a great photographic evening.

100 YEARS AGO: In January 1917 Rev F C Harvey wrote: Dear Friends, The War has now run its dreadful course for 29 months. The enemy has made suggestions which have the appearance of a ‘Ballon d’ Essai’ or a feather thrown up to see which way the wind blows. Notes and Comments: ‘Another flag day’. Yes indeed, but for one of the most deserving of support, namely, Lord Roberts’ Memorial Workshops for our Disabled Soldiers and Sailors at Brighton. These men have willingly sacrificed themselves for us at Hailsham, let us rise to the occasion and do our level best to show our gratitude to them by giving liberally to the different collectors, who all day, wet or fine, will ask for kind help on January 17th, 1917.

Capt Porter, well known here, is now at Dar el Salaam, German, now British, East Africa. He is in command of 500 BWI men and 17 officers, and writes a very interesting letter, which Miss Moore let us see, of our doings. The German is driven down to the Swamps in the South Eastern Corner, which it is hoped will soon be clear of him.
