Camera Club: An excellent meeting was held in St James’s Church Hall last Wednesday. This was the second round of a two-part competition with Keighley, the first part being held in October. The photographs were of a high quality on both evenings, with Silsden coming first in the first round and KDPA coming first in the second round. On both occasions the result was very close. Two of the photographs were given a score of 20 – one was of The Red Arrows by Anne Lindsay, and the other was Norman by Neil Bland. The next meeting will be Wednesday when there will be a speaker from Ilkley. For further information, contact the secretary on 01535 653528.
