An Inside Job!

It appears that Bro. Chris Devereux is not the only high profile photographer in the Guildford Circle. Bro. Geoff Bignell was both surprised and delighted to hear from our esteemed Bro. Secretary that on behalf of the Guildford Circle, he had scooped the 2017 Wimbledon Photographic Competition Cup in the 'F' category! 

As we all know, our association is defined by the four 'F' words; Faith, Family, Friendship and, you've guessed it, Fun! If, following Bro. Secretary's recent email, you have accessed the Wimbledon Circle website, you will already have seen the photograph which may well make Bro. Geoff a name to be reckoned with amongst the photographic cognoscenti. 

Initially, we were wondering where on earth Bro. Geoff took the photograph which is, basically, an androgynous angel doing the splits! As the circle's sleuth, I can tell you that Bro. Geoff  took the picture in a marquee during the Decorex International interior design exhibition for professional interior designers. The exhibition was held on September 19th at Syon House, the spectacular London home of the Duke of Northumberland, and Bro. Geoff was, he says, inspired to take the photograph whilst lingering in the Champagne bar. 

It seems that Bro. Geoff obtained a ticket online which he purchased for a mere £5.00 by masquerading as a student interior designer! The photograph, which was taken with Bro. Geoff's Fujifilm X20 compact camera on automatic setting, contains a blonde lady who is, we are reliably informed by Bro. Geoff's son, Celia Sawyer a TV presenter on a Channel 4 property programme called 'Four Rooms.' 

From studying the photograph, the lady appears to be fumbling in her hand bag maybe for her entrance ticket which has been asked for by a man who may be a steward. There again, the man could be her film director husband Nick Sawyer askingfor a sweet. However, we don't know who the lady with the shopping trolley is. Maybe she is another student interior designer? The photograph most certainly deserves a title! There have been several suggestions listed as follows:

'Excuse me!'

'Wish I could get my legs up that 'igh dearie!'

'Sorry madam but I need to search amongst your personal effects'

Bro. Geoff highly recommends a visit to Decorex next September for anyone interested in interior design. This could, possibly, be organised as a Circle event? However, all those interested would have to register as a 'student interior designer' which might prove a little difficult. 

Bro. Geoff further adds, that he now feels more than confident to advise on any interior design issues which our brothers and ladies might have. Considering the slightly devious way Bro. Geoff gained entrance to the interior design exhibition, you could say he would be prepared to do an 'inside job' for you! 

Excuse me!
