Once again Ashford Camera Club contributed a decorated Christmas tree for the annual display in the church.

A group of club members and friends visited the Winchester Hat Fair this summer for some interesting photo opportunities. Pictures by Lee Tuppen.

We still hold a competition for photographs taken on reversal colour film. While the image has a completely different feel compared to the digital projected image, the colour slide imposes a different set of disciplines on the photographer.

Winning pictures shown here are:

“The Thames at Runnymede” by R. Stevens (taken on AgfaPhoto precisa CT 100),  “The Boys ” by B. Hulatt and “Bendy Neck” by B. Hulatt. 

Barry Muggeridge, our competition secretary and lecture organiser, received a certificate and well-earned recognition for his voluntary services to the Spelthorne community at a presentation evening at Royal Holloway College on 29 May. Over the last 10 years in particular, Barry’s input and hard work has made a very positive contribution to the success of Ashford Camera Club, Ashford Horticultural Society, Ashford Pride and Ashford on the Map.
