Malmesbury Photography Evening

Posted on by

On Tuesday 13th August, we had our 10th Summer Photography Evening.

The Abbey was photographed as usual, however part of the Abbey is being repaired and the workmen were busy setting up the scaffolding. But the view from the gardens (not the ones with the naked gardener) was still un-cluttered.

A nice walk around the Town, and it is quite easy to see how much history there is in these small market towns that is normally missed. On a nice evening, there was a game of bowls being played which was a good photographic opportunity.

Finishing of at the weir where there was plenty of great angles for that competition winning shot.

Club trip to RHS Wisley – 7th July 2013

Posted on by

On Sunday 7th July 2013, the WBCC organized a day out to the Royal Horticultural Society’s gardens at Wisley.

They day started of with beautiful blue skies and nice warm weather. We all met in the car park near Sainsbury’s in Royal Wootton Bassett, where we waited for our coach. It duly arrived and we all got on for the 1½ hour trip to Wisley.

Upon arriving, we waited for Dave to collect our tickets, then it was of, all camera’s at the ready. But for me, straight to the cafe for the first cup of tea. A quick walk around taking very serious photo’s here and there (All competition winners I am sure). I was just amazed at the size of the place, although there was 30 of us, including our wives I didn’t bump into that many of our members whilst on my walks.

Lunch came and went, and a bit of a rest sitting down just admiring the vast array of colours, and scents from all the different flowers and shrubs.

As we had to be back at the coach by 5:30 time was flying by, it seemed that there was not enough time to really enjoy all that Wisley had to offer.

The trip home was very uneventful, oh yeah, that Scottish bloke won Wimbledon, well done Andy.

But all in all, I had a fab time, and I am sure that everyone else did, so well done to Dave for organizing the trip.
