Hello our Members - you may, and I hope that you will, enjoy going though this.
A couple of years ago I found something in our attic at home that I had used a number of times several years ago related to our Bridgend Camera Club. This 'something' is a folder/album of press coverage and photographs of our Camera Club. Going back through this 'collection of Camera Club information' I was amazed to remember that the Glamorgan Gazette had developed a good contact with our Club and published numerous reports, photographs and information being made available for their readers about our Club and it's photographic work and members interests.
The considerable number of Gazette reports and photographs and information on our Club's events starts in 1976 and goes through to 1982. The images that are included in this display programme start with a copy of the Gazette front page which is filled with photographs and a report of our Club. This front page and page 2 is dated 1980 - but from here on are shown from 1976 and up to 1982.
Enjoy what you will see and learn something about our Club that you may not have been aware. And for our current members whose experience goes back a number of years these will be good memories.
