One of the photographers exhibiting at the Winchester Discovery Centre is local wildlife and landscape photographer, Paul Sansome. He gained a "Highly Commended" for his "Terns in a Queue". I mention this because Paul has a one man exhibition starting at Mottisfont Abbey, tomorrow - Saturday 31 July. The exhibition runs until Thursday 12th August. Note that Mottisfont is not open on Fridays.
I have just come from assisting with the set up, and it's a stunning exhibition.
If you are a National Trust member then entry is free - otherwise normal Mottisfont NT admission charges apply to gain access to the gardens, river walks, house and exhibitions. There is even a new ice cream parlour!
Mottisfont is actually a good day out for all the family. They also have a very interesting Beatrix Potter exhibition at the moment of some of the original watercolours she painted to illustrate her books. Evidently these paintings are only exhibited every ten years or so!
Another one for the diary - Andover Split Image Photographic Society will be exhibiting at Mottisfont later this year - Saturday 28th August to Thursday 2nd September.
Regards,
Roy Brophy

Chairmans Newsletter No.46
Hi All
Not much to report in this weeks newsletter except to say what a very enjoyable evening it was last night at George and Margaret's for the barbeque.
Not much to report in this weeks newsletter except to say what a very enjoyable evening it was last night at George and Margaret's for the barbeque.
Not only did George arrange for it not to rain, he also arranged a fabulous sunset - it just gets better each year.
My thanks of course go firstly to George and Margaret for allowing us to invade their garden each year, George and Jack worked it out last night that we have been doing this for the last 20 or so years - I did not realise I was so young when I first started going!!
I would also like to say thank you to everyone who came along and made the evening go so well, it was great to see such support and what a pleasure to be able to sit around and chat to each other, we don't get many opportunities to do that. Don't forget if you are not away then please make a vist to our exhibition at Stockbridge 28th - 30th August and support the members who are displaying work there. Roy and I send our apologies that we shall miss this, we will be in Suffolk - hoping for sunshine.
Opening of Chichester Exhibition Friday 13th August - 2 tickets left to attend the formal opening.
Club will restart on the 7th Sept.
Have a good break and take every opportunity you can to use your camera.

Chairmans Newsletter No.45
Newsletter a little late this week as I was whisked off to London for a few days to celebrate a special birthday.
Important - dont forget the barbeque at George Marsh's on Tuesday - hope weather will be kind to us, if there is any doubt then please give me a ring 023 80 323431 after 5pm.
Another reminder from last weeks newsletter - spaces still not taken.
Chichester Camera Club have their 61st annual exhibition of their members work August 14th - 21st, Assembly Rooms, North Street Chichester, 10am - 5pm. Please note it is not open on the 15th august.
The open evening is on Friday 13th and we have an invite for up to 4 members to attend, light buffet and drinks provided. If you are interested in attending and can make a firm commitment then please email me, I will allocate on a first come basis.
Winchestery Discovery Centre has a good programme on at the moment - the Wildlife Photographer of the Year 2009, on until the 12th September - brilliant exhibition, although after looking at the entries from the under 11 year olds we did think about selling our cameras!!
Simon King - Wild Life Thurs 29th July tickets £10, Simon will talk about his work and show some of his images.
Ben Osborne - Private View Tuesday 24th August tickets £10, Ben was the 2007 overall winner of Wildlife Photographer of the year.
Closer to home I must give a big thank you to Gary Richardson for organising the butterfly walk last week, although he was unable to make the sun shine and the wind stop blowing, but for the 20 or so members in attendance it did not matter. It provided an opportunity for us all to talk to each other, give help to those who needed it and adjourn to the pub to discuss the merits of 'the one that got away'! Everyone enjoyed the evening.
If anyone would like to come forward and organise a walk for mid August then I will circulate details. Other than that we have the Exhibition at Stockbridge Town Hall on 28th - 30th August.
We will be back at the club on the 7th September, but I will send out another newsletter before then.
look forward to seeing many of you at the barbie on Tuesday

Chairmans Newsletter No.44
20th July - A reminder of the butterfly walk at Danebury Hill. Take the A30 west out of Stockbridge towards Salisbury. Stay in the outside lane on the dual carriageway, about half way up the hill out of Stockbridge turn right. Follow the road for about 2 miles and Danebury is on your left (signposted from the road). There is plenty of parking on site, just across the cattlegrid and up the hill. Gary Richardson will be there at 6pm, if you are a bit later then just walk on up the hill and you will find everyone.
27th July - BBQ at George Marsh's in his beautiful garden, 2 Pittleworth, Houghton, SO20 6NA, don't forget to bring your food, drink, crockery, and something to sit on. Hopefully the weather will do its usual and be kind to us, if in doubt please ring me (023 80323431) or George (01794 301285).
2 opportunities to go and look at other photographers work:
Festivals in Winchester, The Discovery Centre, City Space, to view the work of Paul Carter; Daniel Gradwell; Dot Allen; Kin Ho; Joe Low and Marcus Tate. Each photographer tells a story with a selection of 10 images on 4 different events. Worth visiting with our own evening on documentary panels, but you only have until Sunday 25th July.
Chichester Camera Club have their 61st annual exhibition of their members work August 14th - 21st, Assembly Rooms, North Street Chichester, 10am - 5pm. Please note it is not open on the 15th august.
The open evening is on Friday 13th and we have an invite for up to 4 members to attend, light buffet and drinks provided. If you are interested in attending and can make a firm commitment then please email me, I will allocate on a first come basis.
We are still looking for someone to come forward to take the position of external competition secretary - please make contact if you would like to assist with this position - don't forget with no one in this position we will not be able to take part in external competitions which our club has always valued in the past.
We have had some interest shown in helping with the programme so watch this space on that.
Last but not least - what a good evening last night, with the members talking about their work and giving hints and tips to the rest of us on how to achieve similar results. I am sure many of you like me learnt something from their talks and it would be great if we could hold more of these type of evenings with a wider spread of members telling us a story behind a particular picture.
