Wellington Town Council Mayor Cllr Paul Davis opens our 2023/2024 season

Wellington Town Council Mayor Cllr Paul Davis opened our season with a speech, presentation of cups for winners from last year and then spent all evening with us looking at all the prints on display, talking to each individual present and discussing photography in depth with those present. We are very grateful for his interest.

Whilst a number of members couldn’t be present we did have a number of visitors, some of which we hope to see in the coming year.

Much thanks needs to be given to those that helped set the night up and make it a success. Specifically Norman for all his hard work in all aspects of the night. Rose and Janet for their excellent ‘table of delights’ that kept us fed and watered. Bob & Tim for helping set out the Print displays and all those who attended.
If i’ve missed anyone, my apologies, but thankyou.

Below is a selection of photos taken on the night by John (with his new lens!)

Another great success for the club at the MCPF Print qualifiers.

Having got through to represent the Midlands at the UK PDI competition, we have now succeeded in getting through to represent the Midlands in the UK PRINT competition.

We came 4th overall, but the first two clubs go through as of right based on last year’s (which we didn’t enter) results, so we squeezed in.

Roger Evans did particularly well, obtaining the award for best Mono Print - well done Roger.

Below are the prints used in the competition.
There are quite restrictive rules about how many can be used from one author and how many have to be Mono and how many can be carried forward from the first round, which Norman O’Neill managed/organised - many thanks to Norman.
