The 9th September 2021 saw seven intrepid GPG members enjoying our first in-person Evening Espresso Gathering since February 2020. The friendly staff at Robusta Café welcomed us with some of their amazing deserts and drinks.
Here’s hoping that as conditions improve, we will be able to enjoy more in-person GPG events.
Competitions
The virtual December Social was a marvellous virtual get-together with over 40 participants. Amazing images were offered in both competitions and in presentations between categories. Interesting chatter and very friendly times in spite of the restrictions. All the best this season and here’s hoping we can meet in person in 2021!

Competitions
The Grand Valley Image Battle (GVIB) is an open competition held every fall with invited clubs in South-Western Ontario, including the Guelph Photographers Guild. The 2020 competition is being hosted by the Fergus and District Camera Club. Each club is limited to 18 submissions that hopefully include as many club members as possible. This year the GPG entered 18 submissions from 18 individuals. Entires were on a first come first served basis in an attempt to promote our less experienced members to participate in a friendly competition.

For 2021, we are continuing with our very popular monthly pair of alternating Espresso and Critique / Espresso ZOOM Gatherings.
Invitations for each of our ZOOM Gatherings will be e-mailed to all GPG members. Each invitation will include the ZOOM Link, Meeting ID and Password.
For our Espresso Gatherings, members are invited to e-mail any discussion topics to me by midnight on the Tuesday before our gathering. I’ll e-mail this list to everyone by noon the day of the gathering so we can all see the topics in the order that I received them. The length of time we spend on each topic will depend upon the interest and participation of the group at the time.
For our Critique / Espresso Gatherings, John Greenwood will e-mail all GPG members with image submission guidelines and a link for submitting your image(s). Following our usual format of reviewing each image, constructive comments are appreciated.
Thank you very much for your help and participation.
Stay well!
