Association,

Ranson, Chairman of Ruthin Camera Club,

Secretary of Ruthin Camera Club.
"Ruthin Camera Club is holding an exhibition of Members' prints at
Ruthin Library;
the formal opening and Private Viewing took place on Tuesday 6th April and the exhibition
will be open until 7th May 2010.It is not often that an exhibition is formally opened by two VIPs,
but
as the Mayor was delayed in a Committee meeting, the President of the
NWPA performed
the first ceremony. Mr Flitcroft was familiar with the
work of the club having judged a competition recently.
He was
complementary on the standard of the work, especially the print "Dark
Satanic Mill" by Jane Edgar,
a similar copy of which won the award for
the Best Colour Print in the recent Battle between all the
photographic clubs in North Wales. The Mayor commented how much he
enjoyed the Club exhibitions
at the Ruthin Flower Show, and was
impressed with the wide ranging subjects of interest to the members.
Both Club members and the invited Chairmen of other North Wales clubs
considered the evening a success
and particularly enjoyed the pleasant
social atmosphere of the Ruthin Club; several of the latter proposed
recommending the exhibition and associated event to their members." John Ranson.
