Flying the flag at Farnborough Celebrating its 75th season, Farnborough CC has a busy season lined up
News in brief
Gosforth’s exhibition Visit Gosforth Camera
Originally Farnborough and RAE (Royal Aerocraft Establishment) Camera Club, Farnboroughwas formed during the SecondWorldWar –with its first meeting interrupted by an air raid! In 1983, RAE withdrew as none of its staff were members any more, and the club has since continued to flourish, even linking with PhotoCirkel, in Germany’s Oberursel. The club also holds annual competitions with clubs in Australia and New Zealand. Farnborough Camera Club’s 75th season will be no less busy than previous ones. Already planned is a visit by David Noton on 25 October and
the 75th Anniversary Exhibition in January 2017. Non-members are very welcome to attend both events; see the website for details. Before then, the club will be holding a display at Princes Mead Shopping Centre in Farnborough on 13 August, which will also be a great opportunity to find out more about the club. Visitors can vote for their favourite image, and the photo with the most votes wins the Exhibition Cup.
