Hi There,
ReplyDeleteAs I,m sure you already know, the Wayland Show was held on Sunday the 2nd August 2009 and Caston Camera Club were the official photographers for the event.
We have compiled over 1000 photos which can be reached through our website at www.castoncameraclub.co.uk.
Hi
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful that you have all the show photographs on your website for everyone to see so soon. When this project first started in January I got in touch with your club and asked if we could work together on some projects in the area. The club said it was to busy at the time, I hope that there will be an oppotunity in the future to pool our rescources.
As chairman of Caston Camera Club I really am surprised to read this note of yours regarding us being too busy. I would have imagined that I would have been your contact and I certainly don't recall any such conversation. However, misunderstandings can occur so let me say right now as chair of the most popular club in Norfolk outside of Norwich, with over 70 members, and situated right within the heart of Wayland, we will be delighted to be involved in joint projects - you can't have a better photographic partner than Caston Camera Club - if you would like to see more of our work then visit http://www.castoncameraclub.co.uk
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the link to the Watton & District Photographic Society website. It was good to meet with you again at our first meeting and we look forward to future co-operation with you on Wayland related projects.
