Chris Packham lecture
Updated on 14th July 2010
Steyning Camera Club would like to thank all who supported the Chris Packham show that was staged at the Worthing Pavilion Theatre on Monday 12th July 2010. The show was a sell out event with a broad mix of people in the audience all of whom were enthralled with Chris's images, stories and humour. Chris was extremely generous with his time signing photographs, posing for photographs and chatting to fans.
To quote one very appreciative member of the audience:
"We all thought that Chris did a superb job, full of honest insight into his approach to photography, and however lucky he may be to be able to have access to some of the best sites in the world his undoubted passion for his subject area was so very evident. We all walked out of the theatre and felt very proud to be associated with Steyning, so please accept our grateful thanks, and extend it to the committee, for a thoroughly enjoyable event."
This was a fabulously successful event and our sincere thanks go to all who were involved in the organisation to make this show possible.

Shoot Rochester Live
Posted on 10th May 2010
What a good day we had in Rochester for the live shoot, even if the light only improved after we'd eaten in the evening! We had twelve photographers taking part, and congratulations to Ken Woods, who took 1st place with a super sequence of images. All the results to follow.
Thanks also to the team from Upminster Camera Club for your hospitality, especially Dave Wilcox, our organiser and judge, and to Dick Williams, who made up the tech team. Dave made a stop-motion video of our breakfast meet, which you can view on YouTube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WQ0ypwPWWHg
This was a return to Upminster's visit to Shoreham in 2009, which was judged by Ken Scott. You can see all their images of Shoreham here.
