Dorothy and Tony Redford are honorary members of North Cheshire PS and Tony has been very involved with the excellent North Cheshire Challenges since their inception. He easily communicates his enthusiasm for photography and this contributed a lot to our enjoyment of the evening. We saw his, and Dorothy’s, shots of Valencia, Paris, Berlin and […]
www.crewephotosoc.com passes the Clinch-Test
The new issue of Black & White Photography magazine arrived this morning and their regular contributor, Tim Clinch, had something to say about camera club websites. It wasn’t complimentary. “Almost without exception”, said Tim “every website (he looked at) had far too much stuff on it. Great clunky wheezing sites, impossible to navigate and infuriating […]
2015 Portrait Competitions – Judged by Adrian Line
Adrian is one of the most successful competitors in club photography and he was able to keep our attention and interest in every one of the 50 or so prints and projections with varied, perceptive and practical comments; a masterclass in club judging. In the end we saw a new photograph by Peter Robinson The […]
Open evening a great success (2 April 2015)
Thanks to the very enthusiastic participation of our members the idea of presenting our pictures based on a Photo-Walk was a great success. We only had time for 5 or 6 contributions but the variety of work, the discussions they sparked, the good humour from members, not to mention the sheer quality of the presentations […]
PAGB Inter-Federation Print Exhibition
Every year, the 15 photographic federations of camera clubs send in the best prints from their member clubs to be considered for the PAGB (the national body) Exhibition. It is an honour to have a print or projection sent in, let alone selected by the PAGB. We have just learned that the print above, A […]
Jim Harrison Trophy (PDI Annual) 26 March 2015
We always look forward to Jane Lines judging for us. Her knowledge of national and international standards is second-to-none and she is a very successful club photographer herself (having just gained the highest PAGB Award, the MPAGB) and yet she is very kind to us, looking sympathetically at our work and usually making a good […]
North Cheshire Challenges 2015
North Cheshire PS always pull out all the stops to keep these competitions one of the premier club events of the region, so we all shared their disappointment when building work at the Civic Centre in Poynton meant interrupted access to the room and no heating. However, we never felt cold (it was positively tropical compared […]

Meeting 5 March : Inter-Club Competition Crewe PS ...
A very enjoyable evening with Tremaine and our friends from Sandbach PS. Sandbach had a lead after the PDIs but Crewe came back more strongly with the prints to take the overall win 529 to 522. There was much good work on view, which is one of the pleasures of these events – to see […]
The work of Caroline Small at the Green Man Galler...
We left Buxton Museum to explore a new gallery just next door and it turned out to be quite a cornucopia of local artists work. Three etchings of birch trees caught my eye first and then a photograph, which turned out to be one of a number by Caroline Small. As we wandered round […]
