Ok guys I am thinking (and hoping ) to set up a slide show that can be displayed at all club meetings. I have mentioned this to Shane and he likes the idea. My thoughts are to have a huge photo gallery that will be displayed on a large TV set at the club. It may take some time to set up as I will need a spare PC for the club as well as a fairly large TV. I believe I may have all the necessary PC components required but if not I will be screaming for help. I may also need some support from someone who really knows their way with computers. I believe this would be a great way for new or potentially new members to see what our club is all about. Now for the hard part. In order to get a huge photo library together I need photos. What I am thinking is that if all members go through their photos and find any club related or even non related photos and email them to me at dcpainting@cogeco.ca I can start putting together a photo album that hopefully will grow fast enough to get this idea up and running. I am also open to any suggestions or concerns so if you have any ideas let me know. Feel free to talk to me at the meetings if you wish. I am hoping this idea will pan out so see if you can contribute. Thanks Dave

Dave - This will be great to get organized. We can simply hook up the computer to our LCD projector and display them on the 8 ft screen - no TV required.
Already I have been collecting from camera memory storage cards that have been brought in by members at the start of meetings. Roy and Gerald brought cameras in the I simply copied them to the computer and then displayed them.
I kept a copy on my computer, but I think it would be better if we can store all of them on a Thumbdrive (8 gig should suffice) and it can even have the looping Picture display software run off the thumbdrive and we are ready to play it on any computer (computer doesn't need to have the software installed). We can buy a Thumbdrive and if you like to be the keeper of it then we will make this work and you can always have a great picture on the message board. Great job Dave. Thanks for organizing this.
Shane
