Our 2022 Print Exhibition is now running at the Babylon Gallery at Waterside in Ely, where around 150 prints, both mounted and framed, are available to view and purchase.

Entry to the gallery is free, and the exhibition is open every day except Mondays from 12 noon to 4pm. The last day of the exhibition will be Sunday 9 October, so if you haven’t been to see us yet, please do – there are club members in attendance to answer any questions you may have about the prints or about the club. read more

Unfortunately it became necessary to temporarily remove the galleries of images from the “previous years competitions results” pages, as there was an issue with those pages not displaying correctly with the galleries active.

A solution has now been found to this issue by installing some different image gallery software, and the galleries that were recently removed are in the process of being reinstated gradually. Unfortunately this is time-consuming and it may take a few days for the image galleries to reappear on the site. The more recent galleries will be reinstated first. read more
