Club Meeting, Awards & Presentation Evening - Tuesday 6th May 2025.
On Tuesday, 6th May 2025, the Camera Club concluded their regular meetings for the 2024/25 season with their
annual awards and presentation evening. This event celebrates the photographic work of its members. During the
meeting, the Competition Secretary, Davy Bolam, presented a new Audio Visual show that showcased entries from
this season's competitions, images submitted to the website gallery, a small number of new and unseen pictures
and favourites from the club archive. Set to an appropriate musical soundtrack, images featuring birds, animals
and flowers, architecture, castles, and creative impressions. Local views, people, lakes, dramatic landscapes,
seascapes, and skyscapes were all crafted into an enjoyable, flowing presentation.
The awards ceremony followed, and the competition secretary briefly explained the points system used to establish
the winners before listing the club’s seven trophies. The top images in each category were then projected, followed
by the announcement of the titles and author. Club Chairman Peter Downs then presented the award winners with
their well-deserved trophies and certificates, with the results as follows;
