This year for the first time the BBQ was held at the Church Centre in Headley. The location was excellent, with use of the kitchen and toilet facilities, and a fall-back of the hall if it rained. However, the weather was perfect and everyone set up their chairs, tables and gazebos on the large grass area next to the hall. The food was excellant as usual, thank you Sue and the cooks.
Ludshott Photographic Club was officially started in January 1995, and to celebrate 30 successful years we had a talk about the club’s history from the President, Kathleen Bird. The talk was followed by tea and cake and plenty of chat.
We also had an anniversary dinner at the Fox and Pelican in Grayshott which was well attended.
The club held its Bi-Annual Exhibition on Saturday 23nd September 2023 where we had over 100 images which looked splendid displayed on stands in the hall of the Holme School.
In line with previous years we had a number of pupils from the school who were mentored by members of the club over the summer holidays. Having taken their photographs, they each chose 3 on which to carrying out some post production work before their images were mounted for inclusion in the exhibition.
A large team of members soon made swift work of setting up on the Friday before the exhibition, gave their time on Saturday to provide a meet and greet service during the Exhibition and clear up afterwards.
From the proceeds of the raffle and the sale of some of the prints, the Exhibition successfully raised £170 for the school which was presented to Sarah Stevenson the school head at the end of the day.
There was a vote for the Best Print of the Exhibition which was won by school pupil Lottie Carter’s Robber Fly which can be seen below with Grant Dawkin’s Cathedral coming second and a whole host of third equals.
