PhotoClub Focus

125th anniversary exhibition

PhotoClub have begun taking photographs for the 125th anniversary exhibition with helpful tuition from Nigel Wilson and a practical day on a very cold and grey day in November round the pickleball courts, tennis courts, gym and croquet lawns. A few golf shots were taken and some in the gym. There will be more practical guidance from Nigel during the first part of the year during his classes, which will be running from 15th January to 12th February and 26th February to 26th March. The morning classes are now fully subscribed with six places available during the afternoon. Nigel will be giving guidance on editing images for the submission to the selection committee by 27th March.
