April 2025 News

Each year, the Club puts on two exhibitions of member’s prints which have been entered for all or any of our internal competitions.The one in September displays which were awarded a !st,  2cnd  or 3rd place in our big 5 ( for more details see the website ) These are held in the Arts Centre.

We begin with our first display which will be open for viewing from April 5th through to May 1st. This consists of images which were not awarded a place and may include prints not having been entered for whatever reason. Without the many prints the competitions would not be viable…..thinking back to my marathon days I never assumed a win as the many thousands in front will testify ! The efforts and the satisfaction of a good print  ( it’s not the winning but the taking part ……..! )

Please give us a visit and why not take the weight off and have some coffee and cake, you will be made most welcome.

I intended to publish the results of our annual battle between ourselves and our colleagues in New Zealand , unfortunately it had to be switched to a later date. Next edition…..!

Also soon to be published , our 5 summer outings to various places of interest, these may be entered into one of our big 5, the Events Cup.
