hbccweb Leave a comment

L-R, Nigel Plant (Club President), Carol Stow (Hebden Royd Mayor), Jennifer Hartshorn (Exhibition Secretary)

On Saturday 25th August Hebden Royd mayor Carol Stow opened our 2018 annual exhibition at the Hebden Bridge Town Hall. The club would like to extend its thanks to the mayor for her kind words at the opening.

The exhibition is open free of charge to the public between the hours of 10am and 4pm. After Saturday 25th, it will run from Monday 27th of August to the 1st of September. It is closed on Sunday 26th. We will have stewards from the club available each day to answer any questions you may have about the club or the images.

We encourage members of the public to vote for their three favourite photographs. You can see last year’s top three images hanging in the Town Hall Café. We also publish the top three images here on the website.

Our club’s 2019 calendar of local photographs will be on sale during the week priced at £5. We also have a limited number of copies of the club’s first Narratives zine available for sale, also at £5.

Special thanks from all our members go to Jennifer Hartshorn who was this years’ Exhibition Secretary, organising and overseeing the event from start to finish.

Last Saturday was the 3rd round of the interclub competition and despite the meeting being cancelled due to the snowy weather (mini-beast from the east) we now have the results…

For the set subject “Reflection”, congratulations are to be given to Rory for “Near Perfect Mirror”.

Near Perfect Reflection

For the set theme “Record” Mike scored 16 with “Organ, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, Glasgow”

In the general section “Time for Walkies” and “Bride Stones” were both awarded 15 points while “Grey Seal Giving Chase was awarded 17.

A total of 83 gives us 5th position on the night and brings our total to 247 or 7th in the overall table.

With just one round to go we are only a single point behind Leeds Co-op, so get you best shots into the selection and we could finish in the top half of the table! Round 4 is coming up in mid-April, the set subject is “Minimal” and set theme is “Nature”.
