After a busy Friday and Saturday Mornings we’re up and running. The Annual Exhibition 2024 – 2025 is there for all to enjoy. Hope folks enjoy it. To see some of the images which are up take a look at our exhibition page here or better still pop along to the library and let us know what you think.
Well we’re pretty much there, our exhibition kicks off on the Monday 19th May, all the preparation done, prints printed and mounted, ready to be hung. Hopefully you’ll come along to enjoy the varied range of subjects, from astrophotography to wildlife and many things in between and please feel free to leave comments.
Our season sadly is nearing its conclusion. It has been a busy season with many talks and competitions both internal and external. As the culmination of our season we are hosting our Annual Exhibition in Macclesfield Library (gallery on the first floor) for 2 weeks commencing the 19th May so we’re busy getting things ready. As part of the preparation we’ve been able to get an article included in Macclesfield Express, a copy of which is included below, although the printed version looks better, so pop out and buy a copy.
As well as the article we’re including more details about the images which our members will be submitting which allows visitors as well as members to get more background on the images. This can be found on the Annual Exhibition page (here). As members submit images this page will be updated so keep looking.
So please come along to the exhibition and leave some comments.
Well we haven’t posted much for a while but that doesn’t mean we’ve not been busy. Over the last couple of months there have been several internal as well as external club competitions, interspersed with the festive season. Also various clubs members have been out and about on trips and adventures.
We’re slowly catching up with uploading the various competition images. The latest set of both internal and external competition images can be found by following the links.
We also still have a full programme of meetings and events so hopefully you can enjoy the seasonal weather and capture some great images but do get in touch if you would like to pay us a visit.
We don’t bite.
Another happy memory of Ian – as past Club President, Ian is conducting the Mayor of Macclesfield, Norman Edwards, round our Annual Exhibition at the library on the 3rd of April 2006. Ian had been President for 6 years or so by this time and previously in Committee roles. He will be sadly missed by many of our present and former members. He contributed so much to the Club with his experience and presentations to us. With his career as a respected astronomy lecturer and tutor at the University of Manchester, and in particular with his important role at the Jodrell Bank telescope, he was able to inform and enthuse many of us into this fascinating world of the stars and the universe, and how it could be recorded in photographs. He was always interesting to discuss matters with, and he had a very easy pleasant and gentle manner with all he met.
