Helston & District U3A

The June meeting was attended by 46 members.

In the absence of the Chairperson John Allen opened the meeting and introduced the speaker Janet Goodman whose talk was titled 'Photographs with Music'.

Janet had started taking photographs at the age of 14 & later in life had the idea of marrying music to her photographs. With the aid of a computer, a comprehensive music library and her photographs she has produced a remarkable series of short films.

Janet showed nine of these films about different aspects of Cornwall with titles such as The Wild Coast, Swans & Sygnets, The Wild Countryside, Goldfinches Feeding Young etc.

The photographs were amazing & the accompanying music perfectly matched the atmosphere of the pictures.

This was a magical presentation & very therapeutic.

We look forward to seeing more of Janet's presentations in the future.

Following a few questions, Sally Hoffman gave the vote of thanks, then everybody left feeling uplifted & relaxed.

The next meeting will be on 15th July 9.45am to Noon when the Speaker will be Steven Polgaze & his subject Tregonning Hill.
