Pat Goode Memorial Shield competition

On 13 November 2023, Ely Photographic Club participated in the Pat Goode Memorial Shield competition, where ten clubs each entered four print and four pdi images. The event was hosted by Wisbech and District Camera Club at Wisbech Football Club. The judge for the evening was Richard Houghton.

EPC did not score as highly as we would have hoped, and did not do as well as we have in other recent inter-club competitions, coming eighth overall. The standard of work was extremely high, and the competition was won by PICO (Photographic Image Cooperative). read more

In Memoriam

Long-standing members of the Club will remember Rita Bickell, who was a stalwart of the club for many years, and who was the first person that many new members would get to know as she would always meet and greet them when they came to our meetings.

Ely Photographic Club are saddened to hear that Rita passed away in hospital in September, and our thoughts are with her family at this sad time.

New Interactive Information Boards in Ely

The new digital information boards installed by VisitEly around the city have now gone live, and Ely Photographic Club has provided a number of local images of the City and the Cathedral, in exchange for publicity for our club. The images can be viewed on the new boards, and we hope will generate public interest in our photography.

Summer Outings

Now that the club season is over we are arranging a number of club outings over the summer which are open to members, and details of these are being circulated. We look forward to seeing some of you at these events.

The new club season will start on 20 September 2023, and we hope you will join us for another varied and interesting programme of events then.
