Independent Goodwood Photographers Guild

The Independent Goodwood Photographers Guild is based on a Facebook group for those people who photograph the various motor sport events at Goodwood. The group was formed in October 2015 and now has over 1000 members. The Guild’s annual photo competition received a total of 396 entries from 71 entrants. The first round of judging has been completed with Le Mans driver Nic Minassian, Jeff Bloxham, the respected motor sport photographer, and Alan Brewer from the Goodwood Road Racing Club on the judging panel.

The entries were whittled down to 60 – six in each class. The Duke of Richmond and Gordon will judge this final selection for the class winners and choose the Duke’s award. On 24 February all the entries will be displayed at its annual exhibition which takes place at Boxgrove Village Hall, The Street, Boxgrove, PO18 0EE with an entry fee of just £1. The show is open 12-4pm and refreshments will be available. There will also be a raffle and you can vote for your favourite photograph.

Isle of Thanet PS is encouraged by the number of newmembers joining this year. Its first speaker of 2019 was Antony Penrose, photographer and son of Roland Penrose and Lee Miller. He gave a fascinating account of his life and the work of his parents, especially their friendship with Pablo Picasso. He showed some of their photographs and paintings, including images taken by Miller during WWII when she was allowed at the front by the US Army. Her legacy lives on, as her massive archive of prints and journals together with a collection of art can be seen at Farleys House and Gallery, Chiddingly, home to the Penrose family since 1949. The gallery is open for guided tours every Sunday fromApril to October. farleyshouseandgallery.co.uk isleofthanetphotographicsociety. co.uk
