SUMMER EXHIBITION   

A brief report from Brian:

Twenty two members made submissions being a total of eighty eight prints, which may well be a record number for a club exhibition. I had many favourable comments from people who saw the exhibition.

John Buttress produced cards giving details of the club and a large number were taken, so hopefully the exhibition will lead to an increase in club membership.

Although the exhibition was quite well received the new way of mounting the prints on the exhibition boards, I am afraid was not a total success, as a number of prints came unstuck, leading to damaged mounts on one or two prints.

I would like to thank every body who submitted work and a great big thank you to all those who turned up to help when the exhibition was mounted.

Chineham Exhibition

Once again we will be able to hold an Exhibition in Chineham Library thanks to the help of the manager, Debbie Jeffs.

This exhibition is different from others you may enter in that it is for club members only and contributors have a free choice of subject matter. The intention is for photographs the photographer would like to show to be displayed free of categorisation or judging.  The only rule is they must be suitable for family viewing in this public space.

Unfortunately due to the space available being quite small members will be restricted to a maximum of 2 prints each. Further details will be advised in the September issue of your “favourite e-newsletter”.

The exhibition dates will be from Saturday 27th September to Saturday 11th October.
