Full details of next year's competitions can be founfd here.

June 2020 Print Competition

Last Friday Night we had our Monthly 'Print' Competition judged by Nick Jenkins and presented by our Secretary in his own inimitable way, which of course is very entertaining. The Open themed competition saw Mike Clatworthy with his specially manipulated Portrait of 'Bryn' taking the honours, A lovely 'End of the Day' Sunset and Sky shot from Paul Dennis. Also, making the podium we had Brian Ballard with a hungry butterfly, Kay Mills with a lovely shot of that viaduct up north 3 hours after the steam train had traversed it (but still a well taken shot) and also Brian Howell with a shot he is perfecting lately in 'Lockdown' conditions. As usual, all the winners can be seen here.

May 2020 PDI Competition

Gerald Davies was the victor with 20 points in May's PDI competion on the theme of "Religious". The competition judge, Brian Coleman gave us an excellent evening via our video link. As usual, all the winners can be seen here.

Friday 15th meeting

On Friday 15th we had a very successful meeting hosted and organised by our Social Sectreary, Allen Wilcox. Members were able to show their images which was very enjoyable and talk about them. Thank you Allen for an enjoyable evening.

Forthcoming meetings

The committee are busy planning our programme for the rest of 2020. A suggestion made was members could be given the opportunity to present some of their images. A member could present 20 images, which would be half an evening, or they could present 40 for a whole evening. Again two members could share the evening presenting 20 each. Also a member could have another interest, other then photography, which they wish to share with us. It's not a competition. Members presenting will talk about their images:- where they were taken and how they were taken. If your willing to present then send your names to progsecretary@morristoncameraclub.co.uk by Tuesday 20th May 2020, The evening will be called "Showcase your Work". We need names soon so we can plan ahead.
