Every picture tells a story

Posted on by

Are you a keen amateur photographer, looking to hone your skills?

Or someone who’d like a little bit of help finding out how to turn those snaps you take into perfect pics?

Either way, if you don’t already know about one long-established group that meets regularly here in Newark, you need to make sure you’re listening in to this week’s Girls Around Town…

When June will be chatting live on air to Rose King, the current president of that group, in the second hour of the show.

Originally known as Newark Photographic Society when it was first set up back in 1938, it’s now the Newark & District Photographic Society and its aim is to spotlight the very best in local amateur photography.

The group meets every Monday evening from 7.30pm to 10pm between September and April over at Newark Showground‘s Sheldon Suite, when guest speakers talk about their own photographic techniques and experiences and members receive constructive criticism of their work.

Rose will have news of some of those upcoming meetings, open to members, prospective members and non-members interested in a single event, and she’ll be talking too about her own photographs as well as the numerous posts she’s held since first joining the group before becoming its current president!

Don’t forget to Put On Your Sunday Best this weekend by listening live on 107.8FM, on the free Radio Newark apps, on Alexa or online from just after 11.10am to hear what Rose has to say…

And if you’ve got a Newark-related photograph of your own you’d like to share, why not head over to the Girls Around Town Facebook page to add it to the comments on the post about this Sunday’s chat, which you’ll find at the very top there?

Getting started is everything

How often do you find yourself putting off a job you really need to do?

A task that might be making you feel bad – perhaps it’s boring, too difficult or you’re just worried about failing?

It’s called procrastination of course and it’s going to be the main focus of wellbeing guru Rosalyn Palmer‘s chat when she joins June in the studio for this weekend’s Girls Around Town.

Research shows that once the first step is made towards a task, following through becomes easier – that once you get started, you’re typically able to keep going and in fact getting started is everything.

Ros will be live on air in the second hour of the show, explaining why it’s so tempting to put off what you should be doing and instead spend your time lounging on the sofa, browsing around on social media feeds or YouTube…

Where apparently the current fad for watching online cat videos is currently attracting billions of views!

She’ll be describing some of the effects of procrastination on both physical and mental health and how not putting off till tomorrow the things you should be doing today can help avoid those problems before she turns her attention to something coming back to Lincolnshire next month.

The second Boston Book Festival takes place on Friday 16, Saturday 17 and Sunday 18 September in various venues across the town and Ros, a successful author herself, will be back to take part in some of the many events.

You’ll find full details of the festival programme here, together with information on how to book tickets for the events you want to enjoy.

But in the meantime, make sure you Put On Your Sunday Best this weekend, on 107.8FM, on the apps, on Alexa or online from just after 11am to hear what Ros has to say about her own involvement in the event…

And of course to get that all-important information on how overcoming procrastination could have a major positive impact on your life!
