2007 Stuart House exhibition
We recently held an exhibition of 100 images at Stuart House Liskeard.
During a week in October 2007 we were encouraged by the number of visitors and look forward to meeting some of them again at our club evenings.
Some visitors were surprised that there was no selection process for the images on display. Our club believes in equal opportunities for all members irrespective of their length of membership or ability.
Each club member could enter their favorite portrait, natural history, monochrome and own choice image.
Also on display were the winning images from our 2006 - 2007 season competitions.
Our Chairman John Blake hailed the exhibition as a great success. Not only were we encouraging new members to join us, but we were actively participating within our local community and supporting the Stuart House Trust in the process.
