It is with much sadness we have to announce the permanent closure of Harrow Camera Club – just eight years short off our centenary.
Thanks go to the committee for their hard work and dedication and to all the members who supported the club over the years.

Very many thanks to Stephen for his excellent talk entrancing us all with his urban and traditional landscapes, monochrome and colour, colour photography, industrial and project work from North to South UK plus some iconic places abroad. His work is full of compositional, technical, atmospheric and engaging photographs which captivated us all.
Stephen’s skilful and inspiring artistry gave us the perfect way to end our 24/25 season of talks, lectures and competitions.

Enjoy your Bank Holiday weekend and we return to Century on 2nd June for a members’ evening.
Many thanks to Kevin Day, Stoke Poges Camera Club, for his erudite and helpful critiques across both competitions.
The Open section was won by Peter Keeble with ‘Pool’. Avril Candler’s ‘Juvenile Goldfinch with Seeds’ was second and YC Wei’s ‘Sunrise’ third. Highly commended were Peter’s ‘Gerona from the Eiffel Bridge’ and his ‘Tractor’. Commended were ‘Colours at Carnival’ by Mark Buckley-Sharp and ‘Unwanted Dungeness’ by Judy Buckley Sharp. Congratulations to Peter and thanks to everyone who contributed to the event.

This concludes our competition 2024/25 season. Once again very many thanks to Kevin for his excellent judging and participation in our feedback/open forum sessions. It was a very enjoyable evening.
Having completed the monthly competitions we can announce that the winner of the Projected Open Trophy is John Draper and YC Wei has won the Open Print Trophy. Many congratulations both.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the competitions, projected and particularly prints which require time, effort and cost! Finally thanks to everyone who attended our meetings – especially those who came along to Century for competitions, workshops and members’ evenings.
Next week we are back on Zoom for a talk by Stephen Dean LRPS APAGB on Themes and Journeys.
In the meantime have a good week and enjoy the sunshine.
