An Invitation from Chichester Camera Club
Members of your Club are cordially invited to Chichester Camera Club's eighteenth advanced members' exhibition to be held on Saturday, 19th January 2019 at the North Mundham Village Hall. The exhibition will be open between 10 am and 5 pm with refreshments, light lunches and teas available throughout the day. If anyone cannot make it on the Saturday, we will be open on the following day (Sunday) between 10:00 am and 4:00 pm. We will also have refreshments available on that day.
Print exhibitors have had the choice of varying screen spaces with the freedom to display virtually any type of work they wish with no rules on size, subject matter technique, etc. whilst PDI workers are each allowed to have up to 4 images projected, again with no subject ruling. Based on our
previous, similar exhibitions, this freedom of choice has resulted in a considerable display of artistic talent. The day has also proved to be a great social occasion.
We hope you will be able to visit us and look forward to meeting you on the 19th January.
Your members may also be interested in another event involving the Chichester Camera Club - an exhibition exploring the history and images of the Club since its founding in 1893. It is being held at Chichester's new museum, "The Novium" and is getting rave reviews from all who see it. The exhibition will be there until March

Entrants should send their photos or a scan of their entry to: purecremation@mccann.com
Time is running out for people in Hampshire to submit their entries for an art competition which is being run by Pure Cremation, the leading direct cremation specialist behind the new Charlton Park Crematorium in Andover.
As the deadline of Friday 14th December approaches, Pure Cremation is calling on people to capture Andover in a work of art, to be in with a chance of winning £500 as well as the opportunity to have their art publicly displayed when Charlton Park Crematorium is opened in spring 2019.
With Pip McGarry, one of the world’s leading wildlife artists and the ‘Artist-in-Residence’ at Marwell Zoological Park, lined-up to perform guest judging duties, the creative competition is open to residents of Hampshire who are over 18.
Works of art can be submitted in any form, as long as they can be hung on the walls of the new crematorium; so photographs are welcomed, along with drawings or paintings created in any medium such as oil, acrylic, pencil, charcoal, watercolour or pastel
Entries, which should be clearly labelled on the back with the entrant’s name, address and contact details, can be posted to: Charlton Park Crematorium Art Competition, C/O McCann PR, Pure Cremation Team, Communications House, Highlands Road, Shirley, Solihull, West Midlands, B90 4WE.

Artist Pip McGarry said: “I am thrilled to be involved in this campaign alongside Pure Cremation, and to put the spotlight on the creativity and passion for art that exists within Andover and the wider county of Hampshire. I look forward to seeing all the entries and to having the privilege of performing guest judge duties.”
Currently under construction on Hatherden Road, Charlton Park Crematorium, is set to open in spring 2019, giving local families the chance to say goodbye to loved ones a little closer to home.
Catherine Powell, director and co-founder of Pure Cremation, said: “As part of our ongoing commitment to supporting and engaging with the community, we wanted to launch a public art competition to source unique works from local people to be displayed within Charlton Park Crematorium.
“We have already received some fantastic entries and we do hope members of the public will make the most of this opportunity to capture Andover and enter this very special competition.”

Origins of Photography Exhibition at Museum soon
 |
| Harnham Mill by William Russell Sedgfield c.1858 |
The Origins of Photography:
A brand new exhibition with Salisbury at its heart
The New Year gets underway at The Salisbury Museum with a brand new exhibition looking the history of the photographic process, using wonderful images of Salisbury as a guide. The Origins of Photography in Salisbury 1839 – 1919 opens on 19 January and runs until 4 May 2019.
This exhibition is co-curated by Anthony Hamber, who is an independent photographic historian. He was born and brought up in Salisbury, where his father was a medical GP. His book Photography and the 1851 Great Exhibition (Oak Knoll Press and V&A Publications) was recently published to accompany the opening of the V&A Photography Centre. Previously, Anthony’s study of William Blackmore, one of the founders of the Salisbury Museum, was published as Collecting the American West: The Rise and Fall of William Blackmore (Hobnob Press, 2010).
Starting with the rise of photography in Salisbury during the first decade or so of the medium’s existence, this exhibition will tell the story of the development of both amateur and commercial photography and the processes and formats used. Amateur photography started in the city during the 1840’s, but it was following the Great Exhibition in 1851 that commercial photography really took off in earnest.
Salisbury is a beautiful and photogenic medieval city, with the Cathedral and Close at its heart. This exhibition will transport the viewer back in time to see Salisbury Cathedral and views of the city, but at the same time, reflect on the evolution of the photographic process and technique of photographers over the years. Using the rich archive of images from Salisbury Museum and including images from the British Museum, the exhibition will also show photographs of the Blackmore Museum and major events, like the 1906 rail crash and 1919 Peace Pageant, to tell this compelling story.
Anthony Hamber says, ‘This exhibition provides an insight into the richness and diversity of the photographic holdings of Salisbury Museum, documenting the city, its architecture and daily life.’
From daguerreotypes, calotypes and albumen prints, to glass plates and rolls of film, this exhibition will take you on a photographic journey of discovery, with the city of Salisbury and its people, at its heart.
19 January – 4 May 2019 Main Exhibition Galleries. No booking required.
Normal admission charges apply

Our Millennium Project now safe
Today I donated the Project that the Camera Club made in 1999 for the new Millennium to Salisbury Museum.
Jeremy and Sheila helped me load the 130 panels into my car and later we had fun unloading them into the Museum with the help of Adrian Green the Museum Director.
He said he was very pleased to accept them and has various plans in mind to use them such as covering from floor to ceiling a corridor in the Museum. I will let you know when and if this happens.
Meanwhile below are copies of the paperwork. This has a unique number that will allow us to see the items if we should wish to do so. Click on the images to enlarge them.
Perhaps now is the time to do a repeat for 2020 twenty years on to see the changes in Salisbury.
