SUMMARY:Captions & Kit
DESCRIPTION:Pit-your-wit with photos\, plus a tabletop sale.\nAdvance Notice – land of opportunity for your photos!\nAll \nThis Club Night one element of the evening is the Caption Competition\, where you apply your considerable wits to some problematic pictures. \n \nBack in the days when this traditional diversion started\, we took the occasional snap with a box brownie\, only weeks later paying through the nose to get the pathetic results from the Chemist – usually stickered with “Out of Focus” or “Under Exposed” – and we relied on outtakes from Viewpoint for the source material. \nIn contrast\, in the high-tech Utopia we now inhabit we have the opportunity to upgrade our experience using the plethora of photos from COPSE activities of all flavours lurking undiscovered on people’s phones and other digitisers\, just begging to be dragged into the light of day for our amusement. \nSo my request to you is: please email me any such pictures beforehand so we can include them in the entertainment.   \nThanks in advance \n  \nKen ken@brogan.co.uk \n(I know\, shameslessly pasted in from the last time\, which was shamelessly pasted in from the time before. Life's still too short . . . .)
