Willerby Camera Club
The Willerby Camera Club (Hull & East Yorks) has a long history, founded in
1964 as the then Willerby film unit producing amateur cine films using the
members as actors and narrators of various projects. It then evolved into the
Willerby Camera Club in 1985. With a mixed membership that usually hovers
between 30 - 40, we are a friendly bunch and welcome all new members or
anyone that would just like to come along.
For many years the Willerby Camera Club have been one of the premier
audio-visual producers in the region. Originally producing slide sequences,
thanks to the National Lottery Awards for All scheme, the Wcc can now move
from 20th century technology into todays high tech world. We now create
sequences using the superb PicturesToExe software and with this new easy
to use creative technology, we can expand our activities into the community
and improve our photogaphic skills at the same time.
We meet Wednesday evenings at 7.15 till 9pm at Wolfreton School, South
Ella Way, Kirk Ella, Hull.
Crwst Camera Club
Crwst is a small friendly camera club based in the historical market town of
LLanrwst at the heart of the Conwy valley, North Wales. It started life as a
cine club over 40 years ago with notable national success. We have had AV
competitions when slides were the medium, but after receiving a lottery grant,
a digital projector has been purchased and most members are now moving
into digital. AV is just part of the wide range of use that the projector is put to
and the members wanted to resurrect the AV competition.
A total of 10 AV's where entered of varying length and subject matter;
travel, landscape, wild life and a club outing to Blists Hill, Ironbridge.
Jill K. Bunting was invited to judge the first digital AV competition; we had
an excelent evening with Jill giving us pointers on the finer art of AV.
The results were 1st - Bayeaux by Gwynn Griffiths;
2nd - Maldives by Ian Hutchinson and 3rd - WWW by Ian Hutchinson.
We meet on a Wednesday evening at the Guide Hall, Pen y Bryn, Llanwrst
from September to March and all are welcome.
