Farnborough Camera Club got the 2015/16 season off to a flying start with a display of members’ work, a successful first meeting and plans for a talk. They pre-empted the season with a display of members’ work in Farnborough’s Princes Mead Shopping Centre on 15 August. The display attracted much attention from the public, and it’s hoped it will bring new blood into the club. Subsequently the first meeting of the season on 3 September welcomed new as well as existing members. The meeting included a competition for those who had scored ten in the last season. This was won by club president, Terry Redman. Throughout the season, Farnborough CC meets weekly on Thursdays and its busy programme is on its website. On 22 October, the club welcomes Tim Mannakee, a finalist in the Travel Photographer of the Year 2013 competition, to talk about his life as a travel photographer. Tickets are available from the website for £5.25 or can be bought on the door for £6.50. Season kicks off at Farnborough
