The show took place at its clubrooms earlier in September, but the prints will continue to be on display in venues across North Tyneside. See the club’s website for details. The Jubilee Project aimed to create a record of a unique event. Ten TPS members volunteered to take part – David Baldwin, Brett Culpin, Gail Forster, Julie Hedley, Peter Stevens, Margaret Warren, Dorothy Wilson, Howard Wilson, Ian Wood and Alan Forster. After months of planning, the club was ready for action. The team covered a bake-off competition, intergenerational days where young people visited care homes, a painting exhibition, celebrations at the Stephenson Steam Railway, a beacon lighting and live music festival and a garden party. From the thousands of pictures produced, 30 prints and 713 projected images were selected. tynemouthps.org Tynemouth go Platinum
