Roll of Honour for Rose

Last night Lynn Lambeth our Southern Federation President graced us with her presence together with her husband Roy.  Their reason for coming was to present Rose Snape with a Roll of Honour. This presentation was to honour Rose's work within our camera club for over 40 years and especially for her work on the Committee since 1964! 

See the Archives for more evidence.

Well done Rose and congratulations.

Art of Building

We have just launched our first photography competition in our 175 year history, entitled the ‘Art of Building’. This is a free to enter international digital photography competition (with a cash prize of £500 for the overall winner) which aims to celebrate the creativity of the industry, the passion of the people who work within it, and the impact their work has on those who make use of the final construction. That could mean architectural, portrait, landscape or even natural history photography.
The competition is open to those aged 18 and above (amateur or professional photographers) and closes on May 31st.
All the details about the competition and how to take part can be found at www.artofbuilding.org. If you should want any further information please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Kind regards
