Deepings Camera Club named best in the county by Lincolnshire Photographic Association

A camera club has been named the best in the county.

Deepings Camera Club submitted entries throughout the year to the Lincolnshire Photographic Association, which was established in the 1960s and represents camera clubs and photographic societies throughout Lincolnshire.

Clubs are invited annually to submit 15 photo prints to the association and these are used in knockout rounds throughout the year eventually resulting in the four top clubs.

On Sunday (October 15), the finals took place at Nettleham Village Hall involving Deeping, Grimsby, Louth and Pinchbeck clubs. Points were awarded by the professional judge, Malcolm Sales, and Deepings Camera Club were the county winners with 269 points, beating the runners-up Louth, which scored 253.

Deepings Camera Club’s competition secretary Graham Clegg said: “This was a great achievement for the club and reflected the hard work and photographic skills of their members.”

The Deepings Camera Club will hold its annual exhibition next weekend on Saturday, October 28, from 10am until 5pm, and Sunday, October 29, from 10am until 4pm at the Deepings Community Centre, Market Deeping, PE6 8PA with free admission.
