Farnborough CC
Farnborough CC has a long-standing relationship with its twin town’s camera club, Photo-Cirkel in Oberursel, Germany. Recently, Photo-Cirkel invited Farnborough CC to take part in an exchange visit. The idea behind the exchange was for a member from each club to visit each other’s town to capture in photographs their impression of the two towns. Later in the year, prints will be exhibited in Oberursel featuring the results of the exchange visit. Last April, Farnborough Camera Club hosted Jutta Poetz from Oberursel for a weekend of photography that included visits to Farnborough Abbey, Farnborough Business Park with the balloon hangar, Aldershot Military Museum and Wellesley Woods. Members of the camera club even came across Rushmoor Fire Service training by the canal, and they kindly let them capture a few shots of the training.
In May, Gary Pratt from Farnborough visited Oberursel. He also had a busy weekend travelling around the town and local sites and up into the mountains.
