Our first meeting of the new season was held at our new venue – the Ballroom at The Angel Hotel and was well attended. As part of our delayed 40th anniversary celebrations we held a competition that was open for the public to submit images with a “Summer” theme and the entries were judged by Eddy Lane. Despite public entries outnumbering Club entries, it was Club members who managed to scoop the top three places with the first place image being “Cooling off”.

After the competition, Eddy Lane showed some of his intriguing images of Wiltshire wildlife taken during the lockdown and demonstrated just what can be achieved with careful planning, patience, a little bit of luck and lots of skill.

The President then made a short address before members enjoyed a slice of anniversary cake and some refreshments. Finally some images from years gone by were shown and the struggle to remember the names of people from the past began.

Despite being a year late due to the coronavirus pandemic, members felt satisfied that the occasion had been suitably celebrated.
