Ivor used to run a repair garage in the village of Broad Chalke. He had a collection of prints he made of the village. I believe he found the glass negatives in the village. He gave copies to the church.

Wiltshire Open" annual summer exhibition.

Congratulations to Tim for his latest award.I am quite pleased to say that my "Misty River Bird" photo that won me the Wiltshire Trophy with the club tw
o years ago, has been selected for and is now being exhibited at the Salisbury Libraries "Wiltshire Open" annual summer exhibition.

Even though essentially an art exhibition, open to all Wiltshire based artists, I submitted a framed photograph (as well as two other 'art' works, both selected, too). This year sees an overall increase in photographs (about 8 - last year, 4 or so). It runs from tomorrow, Saturday 9th August until the 30th. Entry is free.

Prints put forward for the PAGB Inter-fed Competition

After all the concern of not knowing how many prints we would receive, we had in excess of 350 colour prints, and over 100 monochrome prints from these we only needed 22 of each, so it was a tough selection process for Jack, George & Ian, where the standard of work was incredibly high.

We would like to thank your members for putting work forward for consideration, and are pleased to be able to tell you that on this occasion the panel selected Tony Olivers' St. Brelade's Churchyard.

PAGB Awards for Photographic Merit

PAGB Awards for Photographic Merit - Copythorne Parish Hall, Pollards Moor Road, Winsor (Southampton CC meeting place)

Dates Sat/Sun 26/27 April 2008

Tony [our Chairman] has put an entry in to get his CPAGB. So why not go along and support his endeavour? You need a ticket and Tony can tell you how to get one.
Again I am unable to find any information from the SPF web site about this important event.

Honoured by the SPF

Both Sheila and Peter Read were honoured on Friday 4th January 2008 at the opening of the SPF Exhibition at our Library.
Besides Sheila getting a Highly Commended for Dahlia Dance and Peter getting Third Place for his monochrome print Train at Chama they were also presented with the SPF Roll of Honour. This was a total surprise to them both but they suspect that Tony and Richard may know something about how it was organised.

Presenting the awards is Ian Bigg President of the SPF who was also given the Roll of Honour again much to his surprise and delight.

The two photographs mentioned can be seen on the 29th November 2007 news item below here.

Success for two members in the SPF Exhibition

Sheila and Peter Read have both had success in the forthcoming Southern Photographic Federation Exhibition.

Sheila got a Highly Commended for her picture of Dahlia Dance.

Whilst Peter got Third Place for his photograph called Train at Chama. This photograph is also being used in the Viewfinders of Romsey Camera Club entry and for the poster to advertise the exhibition.

Sheila gets a Gold Award again!

This photograph is Sheila Reads. With this image she has just won a Circle Gold award within DI5 circle of the UPP [United Photographic Postfolios] for 2007.


Sheila also won this award last year with Astrantia Scattered. This can be seen along with many other images on their web site [click link below]

She also won a higher award 2 years ago with Dancing Dahlia getting the Ralph Couchman Memorial Trophy 2005. This was a silver salver.
