110years of The Kidderminster CC
This Kidderminster Camera Club celebrates its 110th anniversary. The original Society minute book from the 1906-1913 membership period has survived, providing a fascinating insight into the early membership. Much is made nowadays of all the effects that can be created from digital photography, but back in 1908 the Society heard about how adding skies or cloud year The
