Fordingbridge Camera Club will now go on to represent the South of England at the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain Inter-Club Digital Image Championships being held at Warwick University in July.
The above images will be on display next month along with a variety of other photographers work at the Club’s forthcoming Spring Exhibition to be held daily on the 19th and 20th of May at Fordingbridge Town Hall.
The bi-annual exhibition always proves popular with the local community. This year’s event will include an exhibition at Fordingbridge Museum which will feature historical, local photographs. Entry to the exhibition is free with cakes and refreshments available to purchase.
Fordingbridge Camera Club caters for photographers of all abilities and meets every Wednesday evening at Avonway Community Centre in Fordingbridge. Throughout the season there is a programme of talks, competitions and creative evenings. New members are always welcome.
