Affectionally known as the Archdeacon, the ‘Deacon’ would travel to the club all the way from Leicester in his classic Mini, one of many he owned. A keen historian, we were lucky to have the pleasure of one of his illustrated talks. Always interesting, meticulously researched and delivered with the utmost professionalism, his enthusiasm and energy for the various projects he was working on was inspirational. A real character, a true gent and a great loss to the society and those who knew him. MPS.

Q: Annual Competition results 2020-2021

The final competition of the year showcased many of the lockdown projects members have been involved with over the year. The annual competition is an open comp that allows members to enter any type of image, in normal years we would expect to see images members have created when they have been out and about traveling, visiting events, and generally going on with their busy lives. We all know this year has been different and this has greatly restricted member's normal options for photography, however, the annual comp showed what is possible if you try something new. Many members have tried new techniques or styles of photography and the high quality of images submitted was commented on by the judge. Well done to Keith Michell for winning the comp with his great image of a kingfisher and to runners-up Tony Pedley and Alastair Moore.
