On June 5th there was a Members' evening where members brought their boards with multiple images. Some cut up an image and made abstract patterns, others had a story-telling approach.

Later in the evening we viewed members' photographs that were accepted into salon exhibitions.

Here are some photos from the evening.

Saturday 20th May dawned with clear skies and the promise of a wonderful sunny day. Members of the Photography Club plus family and friends journeyed by coach to Cardiff and Cardiff Bay.

The Happy Snappers found numerous opportunities to grab that special shot and the choice of location was enhanced by the superb weather.There is wonderful architecture around the bay. It is possible to walk across the sea barrage to Penarth Marina and some of us almost made it!

A first for the club-Bob Train judged 40 prints on the night having just viewed them for the first time. There were 5 Joint winners with 20 marks each :

John Hardwick won the cumulative 2022 on-line competition - well done John !

On the 6th of March, our meeting was dedicated to the memory of Robert Hall, founder and long time supporter of the club and members, who passed away last year. The evening's print presentation was by Les Loosemore, a good friend of Robert's.
