December 17 Holiday Social at the Beachside Grill!

by Catherine MacKinnon

Reporting out on the Beach Photo Club's Thurs Dec 17 holiday social at the Beachside Grill!

Owner Al gave over the back room to 2 dozen photographers who enjoyed excellent food while basking in the Club's 2nd-ever exhibit at the Grill. Amid framed images of snow flakes, sledding, and scenes from the Beach, members wrestled with gift exchanges back and forth, as if capturing the last rays of the setting sun. Debates over hanging vertical versus horizontal, large versus small, colour versus monochrome receded as the membership led by Toni Wallachy reflected on our collective successes of this year. Always dubbed the last minute club, this year's member who visited the most number of other places with Beach or related concept while trying to locate the group of diners was Steve, you know who you are. Second place for false starts was a leading real estate agent househunting in the general neighbourhood. But first place for imagination goes to the Beachside Grill for accepting our artistic genius and taking a leap of faith with the Beach Photo Club. Our next exhibit at the Grill starts in February, can't wait. Happy New Year!
