Wooler Camera Club is inviting all photographers - from happy snappers to pros - to join them for an evening with award-winning photographer John Thompson on Thursday September 8.

John, a regular judge and guest at Wooler, will be launching the club's new season with a look at "Corners of Northumberland". His presentation will highlight the parts of the county that are rarely photographed - the places we tend to walk or drive past and never notice

Wooler camera club, which meets every other Thursday at 7.30pm in the Glendale Hall, Cheviot Street, mixes presentations and talks with competitions.

"The club is an ideal place to enjoy all kinds of photography, whether slides, prints or digital, and to mix with people who are happy to share their knowledge and skills," says treasurer Ian Thompson. "We've got some award-winning photographers among our members as well as lots of people who just enjoy taking pictures and want to learn how to make the most of their photos."

"After our competitions the judges talk to members about their photographs and explain how they can be improved in future."

Among the presentations planned are talks on wildlife photography, urban landscapes and colour prints.

"Visitors are welcome to spend an evening at the club to see if they would like to join. Refreshments are provided and it's a very friendly evening. If anyone would like to find out more about our programme they can visit our website www.woolercameraclub.co.uk or ring 01668 281376" says Ian.
