May 2025 News

Hello to all.  I hope all is well.  Here is the copy for May.

Hello readers and as I write this, what glorious weather we are having, let’s hope this is not our summer !  We are nearing the end of another season which has been a most successful one. It culminated in a win for Garstang with our annual battle with our link club in New Zealand at Rangiora. There remains only one presentation  to go, this is by Steve Proctor presenting THE WILDSIDE and takes place on Wed. May 7th at 7.30 pm.

Our presentation evening is on  May 21st. when, a meal will be followed by the presentation of certificates along with trophies.  Although this is the last programmed meeting, we are again running our summer course entitled  YOUR CAMERA, LEARN IT , LOVE IT.  for non members

It will run for 4 weeks from  June 25th. and is FREE.  We are aiming at beginners or those with a camera, maybe still in it’s box !  You need to bring it along. We are a very friendly club with members encouraging and helping out each week. If you are thinking of buying one and need some advice, perhaps we can advise you on such a purchase. I will be giving specific details of course content/times etc in the next issue of this magazine so, mark it down in your diary. With very little free in these times without a catch, please avail yourselves of such an opportunity.

Finally, it cannot go unsaid that the success of the club is due to a good team. Firstly to Mike Jenner as the Chairman, who is said to work the 25 hr day on behalf of the club, ably supported by the committee. To the members of GCC who turn up in all weathers and help out whenever asked. A very big Thank You to one and all.  I wish you all, a good summer.
