CCC Forum

Well, it is up and our annual exhibition is all set to open tomorrow. It took seven hours of solid effort to get everything ready, but I have to say that the effort was worthwhile and the exhibition looks really good. How good? You will have to visit it to find out for yourself!

My especial thanks to Bill Yates, Nina Ludwig, Wally Conquy, Ron Barker and Dave Newman for giving up their time today. Without these folks there not have been an exhibition for the rest of us to enjoy and have the opportunity to display our images to the public.

I look forward to welcoming all club members and our invited guests to the private view on Monday evening.

Some more images showing the exhbition hanging in progress.

Further to Mike Farley’s posts yesterday about the exhibition hanging at the Clock Clock Gallery, anyone reading this now has the opportunity to see the results ‘in the flesh’ as it were by visiting the exhibition - which is sponsored by the Croydon-based mainstream supplier Richard Frankfort Photographic Ltd - from this morning onwards until Saturday 23 March. To anyone who possibly can, I would simply say "make sure you do."

As someone who has been involved closely with the organisation of the club’s exhibitions since the mid 1990s and has recollections of many more that were held before I joined in 1994, I have no doubt whatsoever that it is the most professionally-staged Croydon Camera Club exhibition that I can remember.

As well as the 72 framed prints on show, visitors can enjoy more than 100 separate slide and digital entries projected on a large screen TV loaned for the duration of the event by Richer Sounds.

If you don’t know the Click Clock Gallery, it is located in the Clocktower Cafe area of the Central Library complex in Katharine Street, It is open every day (except Sunday) from 9.30-5.30, and 9.30-5 on Saturdays. Admission is free.
