Competition Secretary Post

Due to Len’s changing circumstances we find ourselves in need of a volunteer to help out with his duites. Additionally, the committee feel it is time to split the prints and digital aspects of the job, and so would hope for a couple of volunteers, not just one.

If anyone feels they are in a position to help out please see either Len or Wyn on a club evening or use this link to email if you’d rather - compsec@basingstokecameraclub.co.uk to find out all about the role.
