Including details of our club and inter-club competitions as the season progresses
EAST IPSWICH CAMERA CLUB EXHIBITION 2005
On Monday, May 30th our first exhibition for several years will open at the Ipswich tourist information centre opposite the Buttermarket shopping centre. It will run until Saturday, June 4th. Entry is free, so please come along and enjoy some of our best work. If you can not make it to the exhibition why not take a shortcut to our MEMBERS EXHIBITION GALLERY and see some of the work that will be on display.
Inter-Club Competitions
We were involved in our usual four inter-club competitions again this season and for the first time in our history we were beaten in every one. It's hard to come up with an excuse for the results, and we are not going to try because the other clubs, Felixstowe, Wickham Market, Stowmarket, Framlingham, Halesworth and Harwich & Dovercourt were just that much better than us on the night. But watch out because we intend to win back all four trophies next year.
