An Evening to Remember

On Wednesday 11th February, Stockton Rambling Club held a very successful slide evening at the University of Teesside in Middlesbrough.

Addressing his audience in a 'packed to capacity' lecture theatre, John Carter took us through a multimedia extravaganza that was very professionally prepared and delivered. His beautiful pictures were accompanied by thoughtfully selected musical accompaniments and a spoken narrative that both impressed and inspired his audience.

The evening's event was split into two parts that were separated by a fifteen-minute intermission for refreshments. Each half of the programme was very well balanced in terms of content and impact. John achieved this by intermingling slides taken in the English Lake District (some of his favourite walks) with pictures from his recent expedition to New Zealand - including flights in a hot-air ballon and a bi-plane. Using this type of 'airborne technology', John was able to take some wonderful photographs that would have been impossible to obtain by any other means.

Thank you for such a splendid evening; we are all looking forward to a repeat performance in the near future.
