Ellon Through Our Eyes Redesign

I am redesigning the Ellon Through Our Eyes book by adding some pictures, including Reminiscence Group, and adding some text. We won't have page numbers until the book is finished. The book would have approximately 50 pages.

Weekly Report

We've been giving references for the Ellon Through Our Eyes book. (Grrrrr!).

We are also having ideas on what they are going to add into the big Centre Scene newsletter.

We went out several times with Colin last week and he taught us how to use cameras better.

A lot of us joined in the sponsored walk round Ellon on Friday. Using our photography skills, the photograph of the group doing the sponsored walk was at the old Ellon bridge.


I was going to get an old register for the list of the service users for my yearbook, which I designed at home.

That's all for now, we're enjoying the sunshine!!!!

Bumper Centre Scene Book For 20th Anniversary

We are publishing a bumper edition of the Centre Scene book for their 20th Anniversary.

• Colin Tennant's Photography Workshop
• Tom's Yearbook, which he made at home
• Disability Sport
• Sponsored Walk
• 20 Good Deeds Sponsor
• Ellon Through Our Eyes Book
• Can-Do's 10th Anniversary

Colin's Photography Workshop

We've been doing a lot of work with Colin Tennant on the Life Through A Lens Project. We were out on Monday night, Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning. Colin brings the rain with him. We took pictures of the river, the bridges, the Ellon Editors team, the bus stop, the car park and entrances to various shops in Ellon, and hoping to go for a day out with him. We are getting on well with the Ellon Through Our Eyes book (final draft is hopefully being printed off). We've also viewed pictures on a slideshow. We have also learned how to use our new cameras and we think they are really good.
