Morpeth Camera Club meeting 8th September 2026
‘What I did This Summer’ was the theme of Morpeth Camera Clubs meeting on Tuesday 8th September.
The format for this was simple; all members were invited to show a selection of their recent images taken over the Summer. These could be of any subject, from a day trip to a place of interest, some random images that were particularly liked or an interesting holiday destination. Members were invited to submit up to ten images or a short presentation lasting for about five minutes maximum.
Fourteen members took part in the evening which opened with Dave Bisset whose images included the life cycle of the sunflower and garden feeders; his tortoise and visiting rabbits.
Included in Dave Birch’s presentation were Royal Quays abstracts and Seaton Sluice in evening glow. Anita Stordal, one of the new members of the club, provided images taken at Northumberlandia, Ouseburn riverside and Seaton Sluice views.
David Blades, also a new member, submitted images of abstract eggs, a cyclamen through glass and Spanish scenes.
Another new member, Robert Gibson’s piece featured Mexican sunsets, Fontburn Reservoir and dramatic cloud formations.
David Moores’ travels to Largs, Hope Valley, re-enactment shots and Derwent Reservoir, brought us beautiful landscapes and flora.
Following on was Paul Appleby who entertained the audience with his Av (Audio-visual) featuring the Lake District, Lake Garda, flora and insect life at Wallington Hall and Cragside. Graham Sorrie illustrated his piece with scenes at Aberlady Bay, flora at Blagdon, Cresswell Pele Tower walled garden, Roman dig finds, wading birds and swifts
Keith Pratt, came next with his visits to Holy Island, the Great Yorkshire Show, Pocklington, Robin Hoods Bay and Staithes.
Peter Downs followed with his legendary abstract images of stormy skies, factory smoke and Bothal Woods. He was followed by Pat Wood with images of bluebell woods and beach scenes.
Sue Dawsons contribution included the Van Gogh experience, Kynren’s Viking Village and Brimham Rocks.

The evening concluded with Glyn Trueman with landscapes in Swaledale, Lindisfarne castle and abbey, flora, seabirds and stunning insects.
This evening was an opportunity to show off work and to connect with others in a non-competitive way.
Club Chairman Jeremy Cooper thanked all who contributed to the evening after which refreshments were enjoyed; concluding another interesting evening at the club.
