The Camera Club again supported ‘Sherborne In Bloom’ this year by staging a week-long exhibition of photographs.
For months, members of the Club have been roaming Sherborne, taking pictures of eye-catching gardens, allotments, business premises and public spaces. The resulting 300 photographs were exhibited in the Cheap Street Church Hall during the week beginning on 14 July.
This coincided with the regional judging of Sherborne in the Southwest in Bloom competition on July 17, and our exhibition, as last year, was a crucial element of the judge’s tour.
In addition, our photographs also provided the entries to the local ‘Growing For Gold’ competition, in which local gardeners competed for trophies awarded by Sherborne In Bloom’s sponsors.
Members of the Camera Club were invited to attend the prize giving event at Sherborne Castle, where the cups and awards were presented by Mrs Wingfield-Digby.
Linda Shuaib won the prize for ‘Best Photograph’ for her picture of Brownies planting in Pageant Gardens.
Well done Linda – a well-deserved win!
