HOUSING TRUST PHOTOS

New photos for Housing Trust Independent Living Schemes

Local Independent Living Scheme Coordinators Vicky Wadkins (Bankside) and Luke Mowbray (The Beeches & The Poplars) popped into Wendover Community Library last summer and were very impressed with the standard of photographs on display. They had stumbled across the public judging of the annual photographic competition for the fund raising calendar.

All their residences were undergoing some refurbishment and they immediately realised that this was a fantastic resource of local scenes to complete the project. With permission, a selection of stunning photographs has been reproduced on canvas using the services of Snappy Snaps at 7 High Street, Aylesbury, snappysnaps.co.uk/aylesbury.

On Tuesday 10 March, Wendover Community Library hosted a display of the photos, inviting the photographers, including Peter Carter, Chris Dean, Mary Payne and Adele Price, to see their work enlarged mostly to 16 inches by 24 inches. They were all delighted to see this treatment of their photographs.

The residents of the three schemes were also invited to come and see the canvases. They were delighted by the colour and vibrancy of these local photos.

This is a classic example of the way in which Wendover Community Library is becoming a real hub within our community. If you haven't visited yet, don't hesitate. For more information about Wendover Community Library, go to http://www.buckscommunitylibraries.org/ wendover/.
