Hull Fair 2013

The Photography Society took a trip to Hull Fair on Saturday. Although the weather wasn't the best it could be, morale was high and we had a lot of fun. Even with the bad weather, some good photographs were captured. Particular favourites were photographing the Merry-go-round and the overview of the Fair from the Ferris Wheel. After a spot of photography, some of us enjoyed typical burger van food and even indulged in melted chocolate and strawberries. Although, I think the highlight of the night was the Dodgems!

Geeks and Nerds Social

Hello Everyone!

 

Our first social of the 2013/14 academic year was held last Tuesday at Fusion/ what is now Brooklyn Bar and was a roaring success! The theme was geeks and nerds, and I have to say I was thoroughly impressed with some people's efforts! Pink glasses I'm looking at you.

 

 

Despite a slight lack of organisation on the part of Fusion's management everybody seemed to have a fantastic time chatting away whilst dabbling in some casual drinking games - many of our members are wisely unenthusiastic about alcohol so we take care not to force or pressure anybody: some troopers got really involved and merry, others joined the games but did not drink, all seemed to enjoy the games regardless.

 

 

As a result of some very bizarre Ring Of Fire rules explained by our Events Co-ordinator Raluca everybody got the chance to discover some slightly mortifying 'I have never' truths about certain members of the group, and it's pretty safe to say that myself and Connor did not get off lightly. Payback for Raluca to be confirmed later... ;)

 

 Once the venue started to fill at around 10.30 the group headed upstairs and the inevitable tentative first steps on the dancefloor were faced, I have to say Lewis and Connor's bromantic dance sessions probably broke the ice because, let's face it, you're always more confident after someone else has made a fool of themselves. Love you really guys!

 

Thanks for reading and get yourselves down to the next social! Where and when is not yet confirmed - probably between the 21st and 25th - but as soon as this is decided we will post the event on our facebook page:

Hope to see you all there, it's a good chance to get to know everyone and to chat to last year's members and the executive committee!

 

***Why should you join?***

The plan for this year is to have more workshops, socials and trips than ever before. We're currently looking at Amsterdam, London, Liverpool and camping closer to summer! Workshops are going to start at a beginner level and then advance through the year, allowing everyone to develop and take full advantage. As well as taking photographs, we also enjoy having fun. We have socials like any other society, you can come along and get very merry or not at all if that's not what you're into; there's no pressure/enforcement like that in our society. Hull University Photography Society, HUPS for short are in partnership with the National University Photography Society; this is a society which brings together all the university photography societies for special events like trips, events, competitions and socials. Last year we attended a 'photohunt competition' in Liverpool, where people won cameras!! We also got rather refreshed in Liverpool during the evening with around 25 other photography societies. Anyways, I shall leave it at that. If you want to know more, why not turn up to the social?!
