Progress Report on 2020 MBC members composite photo



After some messing about learning GIMP I feel I have put together the background photo for the 2020 MBC members composite photo to be included in this year's Annual report.  As you may have guessed the photo is based on the 1892  composite which was taken in front of the Moulin Fleming.



  In that photo, in addition to the 14 Officer head shot Vignettes, there are 69 studio individual photos that have been pasted into the group arrangement. Some examples of these individual photos are shown below.

What I would like to do is over the rest of this year, is to take individual photos of current members similar poses to the original and paste them into the following background.



  The Vignette head shots will be replaced by current members who will also appear in the group picture.  Since many of the original members had Victorian style haircuts we might try to imitate that as well.

  Hopefully we will soon have the silver medallions as well as some similar hats to the original club.  For the rest of the uniform I suggest we wear the current MBC cycling Jerseys.
