CHICHESTER CC’S SPRING show uses Kunstmatrix’s virtual exhibition software, enabling viewers to enjoy the images at their leisure. “The spring show is perfect for new and aspiring photographers. Members could choose what they wanted to show off – whether that was several individual images or a collage of related pictures,” explains club chair Mike Harris. “A summer exhibition also takes place in the assembly rooms in Chichester, allowing all members to present at least one image, while our
advanced photographers’ exhibition takes place in North Mundham.” The exhibition pages on the club’s website have all the details. Chichester CC is a vibrant club with a full programme of events and exhibitions. Its 137 members boast a broad range of photographic ability, plus there are six special interest groups. Meetings normally take place at the Tangmere Village Hall in West Sussex, on Thursday evenings, from September to May. chichestercameraclub.org.uk
ABOVE Debbie Ludgate is one of Thanet CC’s newer members, but achieved success with this image, winning the intermediate category
Thanet CC continues to meet online via Zoom, including to host a number of the club’s contests. “Competitions have been judged by a number of new faces to the camera club scene, but recently we were delighted to welcome one of Kent’s premier judges, Andy Smith, to cast his critical eye over entries for our spring competition,” says publicity officer, Rod Giddins. “We were treated to some excellent images. One of our newer members,
Debbie Ludgate, won first and second places in the intermediate group. Her winning image, Majorcan Hellebore, highlighted many different shades of green, but with a hint of pink along the edge of petals. Debbie was thrilled.” Thanet CC’s annual print exhibition is set to take place at the York Street Gallery in Ramsgate from 6 to 16 June, subject to Covid-19 regulations.
