Gawd everything is such a effort in this club. I'm so pleased I'm out of organising anything for it now.
It's not as if the Photographer is earning a kings ransom for standing there all day in the sweltering heat at Blyton 2013 taking pictures of us all day? The CD's are under £20 each and (quite rightly) the RTOC are earning a couple of quid for each CD to go back into the club coffers.
We had the Photographer there last year and his CD's were well recieved so I thought it was natural to have him there again this year. We sold a fair few number of track tickets so you would assume that a few of these people would want pictures of their car going round the track.
If you didn't drive your car on the track then Its a fair assumption that you won't have many pictures of your car on the day. But what you will have is High Resolution pictures without watermarks of everyones cars driving round that you can look back on in years to come. A keepsake.
Why should the club pay for the CD and then give everyone free access to the images. I'd do alright out of it as my car was on track for a few times in the day so the money the club spends would be fine for me. But as Mart has mentioned he wasn't on track so the money the club spends in his name wouldnt give him any return.
