Sherborne Station celebrates its 150th anniversary this year and a number of events are being held throughout the town to commemorate this important occasion.

The Camera Club and Sherborne School have been invited to supply a series of photos depicting landmarks of the town which are to be displayed at Sherborne Station.

These images, illustrated here, have been printed on 60cm x 60cm marine ply and have now been mounted on the walls along the west-bound platform 2 of the station.

These are semi-permanent, weather-proof, vandal-proof displays which form a welcoming and informative series of illustrations to passengers and visitors to the town.

Let’s hope they’ll still be there in another 150 years time!

On 24/25 April we were invited by the Bradford Abbas Village Hall Committee to hold a photographic exhibition in the village hall. This was in aid of the fundraising effort to refurbish the hall.

The event was accompanied by a photographic competition open to both adults and children and the entries were judged by members of the club.

There was a raffle with prizes donated by well-wishers:

Visitors to the exhibition were able to rest their feet by taking refreshments provided by the volunteers:

Thanks to all members who helped to organise the event and exhibit photos!
