Wrekin Arts Photographic Club Newsletter 19 2023/24 14 May 2024

This Friday Robert Ings will judge the Natural History (PDI) and Landscape (Print) competitions at 7.30pm.

Then on 24 May, Paul Hassell FRPS, MPAGB, FBPE, FIPF will present his print talk “Inside My Photography.” Paul says, "The talk is in the main about my journey through photography from where I joined a Camera Club to learn how to use a camera and ended up with Distinctions and National recognition. I am still continuing the journey and enjoying every moment of it to this day. I will show some before and after images. I will discuss how I got them, what my thought process was and some of the stories that entailed taken the images.”

On the weekend of 24/25 May there’s a World War 2 Weekend https://www.ironbridgeww2weekend.co.uk/events-ironbridge-ww2-weekend at Dale End Park in ironbridge with displays, entertainment, period vehicles and a fly past.

On Saturday 8 June, The Club will have a stall at Wellington Midsummer Fayre https://wellingtonsoup.org/events/wellington-midsummer-fayre/ in All Saints Churchyard. We are looking for help to erect the gazebo, display prints and manage the exhibition during the day. All members are welcome to bring prints to exhibit and maybe sell some. The club will take a commission on any sales. We usually meet at the club room at about 8.30am to collect all the exhibition equipment. There will be a chance to look around the site where there will be a full programme of events in the Church, Churchyard and Square from 10am to 3pm - you can see the programme in the link. Don’t forget to bring a camera!

Finally, the club will have a stall at Belfrey Arts Centre Summer Fayre on Saturday 22 June from 12 noon to 4pm. We’ll be looking for help again at that event. More details later.
