While many people carried a camera on walks and other events, back in 2016 a couple thought it would be fun to add little competition. They organised a photography day out in Marlborough and so started off a successful series of photo "safaris" and competitions.
Sadly during lockdowns we haven't been able to go out in a group, but with more general subjects the competitions have continued and become more inclusive as no-longer tied to a particular event, and these days almost everyone has a mobile phone with a useable camera, so no excuses for not participating - you could be winner of next competition!
Here are some of the previous photography events and links to the images:-
