Annual Exhibition Durham Cathedral 2nd to 17th June
Once again, Durham Photographic Society will put on an annual exhibition of members’ latest work in the glorious setting of the Galilee Chapel, Durham Cathedral. Huge numbers of visitors from all over the world will be able to see and enjoy the pictures.
Some additional display space has been obtained so there is still time to put your name down. Two prints per member. The last call will be next week, 10th May. Prints have to be in by 24th May. Print mount sizes can be 50x40 cm or 20x16 inch. The picture size within that can be members’ choice. Make sure presentation is immaculate.
The organising team of Colin, Don, John A and Dennis are already at work on the planning side. Members can help out with setting up on the 1st June, always an enjoyable experience. The opening event will be later that day with special guest, and old friend of the club, Malcolm Kus
