WeTransfer and change to terms you need to know about
In this age of Artificial Intelligence (AI) we need to understand that data has real value. Convenience can come at a cost and there really is no such thing as a free lunch! Some of you may have used the application WeTransfer.com in the past. It was very useful for sending files, in our case photos, to others such as clients and you could use the free version at no cost. That's what free means right? Well no more. WeTransfer are changing their terms of use from August 8th 2025 and will be giving themselves the right, without acknowledgement or payment, to use your files to train AI systems and promote their own business interests as they see fit. This could mean that your images might be re-generated and / or reproduced without you receiving any compensation or acknowledgement as the author of the original images. Please read WeTransfer.com's terms of use carefully before you consider using them after August 8th.

End of Season but photography goes on
On Wednesday May 28th we had our club AGM, the last meeting of our season. Our officials submitted their reports and our committee for next season were voted in. Results of our competitions were reported - congratulations to all involved in some very close contests.
However, this is not the end of our club activities. Watch out for arranged get-togethers over the Summer. We also have the Library Exhibtion coming up in August.
