The day of the outing finally arrived and we were on our way. After a brilliant journey with little traffic we arrived at a warm and bright Chester. We were so fortunate with the weather after having had many cool and wet days.
Mary Gerald and Mark are again opening their garden in support of our chosen charity, this year it's the E.L.Y. Memorial Fund.
All are welcome (not just Club members) so please invite your friends and come to support on the day.
Please see poster for more details
Congratulations are due to Sue, Peter and Lin who visited Colwyn Bay on Saturday 27th April 2019 for their prints to be assessed for the "Awards for Photographic Merit" (APM) award by the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB).
They submitted 10 prints each for assessment which were then marked by a panel of 6 judges who could award between 2 and 5 points for each print, and they had to achieve a minimum of 200 points to be awarded a Credit.

The idea is to have articles of interest on matters photographic, as well as longer articles about the club. I have started with "My First Photograph". If any members have the makings of an article they would like published, we'd love to hear from you and can help with content and layout.
I'll be posting articles about my own old cameras and having fun with film.
Vince Penticost pointed out at our last print competition that the standard mount size has been metricated !
The standard maximum size for mounts is now 500x400mm, or 19.7 x 15.7 inches, slightly smaller than the 20x16 inch size previously used
The print competition guidance has been updated accordingly
At the AGM on 4th February, presentations were made to :
Peter Wyles, winner of the Photographer of the Year award for Print competitions
Sue Vernon, winner of the prize for the Online competitions
