7th nov Exchange Visit with Morpeth Camera Club

A good contingent from Morpeth Camera Club joined us at Doxford Methodist Church Hall, Cramlington on 7th November. Our friends from Morpeth put on an excellent evening, with a range of audio visual (AV) displays and other images. We were impressed by the number of their members who produce high quality AVs and their presentations to us showcased an eclectic mix of topics from milk drops to Costa Blanca to nuclear facilities in Scotland from the Cold War days. The AVs were all accompanied by music, which had been carefully selected to be sympathetic towards, and to provide further visceral feelings about, the subject matter.
 
As our President Chris Houghton commented at the end of the evening, we appreciated the amount of work which had gone into producing the various presentations and for the efficient and effective way in which they had been organised and coordinated for us to view and appreciate.  
 
Before and after the meeting it was good to catch up with our visitors over coffee and tea. In the pub afterwards, some of us from CCC agreed that Morpeth had set a high standard for us to meet in our reciprocal visit to them on 11th March 2025. However, work will soon begin on the challenge we have set ourselves!
