2013
The last meeting of the year, next Thursday, will be a time for some Christmas cheer as we enjoy some food together but it is also a time for looking back. A look back at our achievements over the year but this year we will, of course, also be remembering Mick Roberts and Howard Edwards who we […]
Distinctions
Congratulations to Martin McGing on gaining his CPAGB last weekend. A number of our members have PAGB & RPS awards and also awards gained from getting acceptances in competitions such as the FIAP and BPE distinctions. I don’t think anyone has Photographic Society of America distinctions but those too are awarded for acceptance in competitions. If […]

Crewe PS at Tutbury Castle
Sunday 27th October – A Photographer’s Day at Tutbury Castle with a good number of “re-enactors” in various costumes was just too great a temptation for 10 of us and, hoping that the forecast severe gales really were going to be “later on Sunday,” we drove the 40 miles to join what turned out to […]
