Membership

This group is not for everyone. It is mostly a place for the original ‘Salad Dodgers’ and their friends to show and discuss their images, as well as providing information about meets and other events.

Invitations will only be sent to individuals who are known to members. If you have asked for an invitation (and are not known to us} please accept my apologies for declining that request. We just want to keep this a relatively small group, so don’t be offended.

History

It all started with a few individuals emailing each other regarding the actions of a Troll, on the Digital Camera Magazine website.

Over the course of time, the subjects of the emails turned more to amusement and, in 2007, the idea of meeting in Wales the following year was suggested. As enthusiasm (bordering insanity) for this meet heightened, one of the group nicknamed us the Salad Dodgers (I can’t tell you why).

The inaugural get together was a stunning success with much laughter and a fair amount of ribbing. The wife of one member was even kind enough to bake a cake for the occasion. Regrettably not every member of the group got a slice as, ‘his mates’ scoffed the lot before he got there, hence the comment code.

Araf is Welsh for slow, a fact you quickly learn when visiting this beautiful Country as, after crossing the border you will see an Araf road sign roughly every 50m. Having learnt this, one of our group was so keen to display his linguistic skills, that we were treated to an ‘araf, araf’ approximately every six minutes for the duration of the stay. Given the age and condition of most of the Salad Dodgers,’ Araf’ was quickly adopted as the groups motto.

This is how the Salad Dodgers, Araf and the Slice of Cake came to be.

(Names have been withheld to protect the guilty)

Following that weekend this flickr group was set up. As stated, it is mostly a place for the original ‘Salad Dodgers’, their friends and some other DCM’rs, to show and discuss their images.
