GARSTANG CAMERA CLUB (cont)

my late appearance was accompanied with sunshine and a colourful sky. If the Garstang Show does take place this year on Sat 7th Aug, the club will have a stall in the horticultural marquee with the aim of attracting some new members. I must end this article on a sad note. I have to inform readers and club members past and present of the passing of one of our popular members, Bill Hansell. Bill had been a member for a number of years and was an excellent and successful photographer, his name engraved on many of our trophies. He was always willing to give of his time and experience to those lesser mortals in the club. He would always be amongst the friendly jousting bouts between members and their specific marques of equipment, Nikon v Canon v Sony etc. but as most will agree, it’s not the camera but the person behind it ! His most recent award was that of holding Photographer of the Year 2020-2021. Skills indeed. I have attached one of Bill’s images, a favourite of mine. He leaves behind his wife Pat and his family and we offer them our most sincere condolences at this sad time. R.I.P. Bill.

You may want to use the service all the time or for a short period, such as only in winter or when recovering from an illness or operation. A friend, relative or carer can collect books for you. If you can’t arrange for someone to collect them for you, volunteers can deliver your books to you free of charge.
