There was a large and enthusiastic gathering of members and guests taking a first view of the Society’s Annual Exhibition in the glorious setting of the Galilee Chapel in Durham Cathedral.
DPS President David Trout LRPS said that not many clubs are fortunate enough to have annual exhibitions in a World Heritage site. David thanked the organising team led by Colin Armitstead and the myriad of helpers and exhibitors. He pointed out that the work on show was from both experienced workers and members new to photography.
Distinguished guest, NCPF President Richard Spiers DPAGB, BPE2*, in a witty and entertaining speech, opened the exhibition, highlighting how much print quality has been transformed in the club world and what diversity of photography was being achieved at Durham. In awarding the Ted Mansell Trophy, Richard said it was impossible to choose the “Best” picture in the show, instead giving it to the one he liked the most. This was “Copse and Crops” by John Horner. John said, “I am very pleased to have been awarded this Trophy and I would like to thank the person who printed the picture so beautifully for me, Christine Oliphant”.
