Exhibition

Gala Camera Club will host a prints exhibition at The Little Art Hub in Galashiels from the 12th to 17th of August 2024. 10:00 – 16:00. Support from Energise Galashiels

If you didn’t manage to get to the exhibition here are the images, plus two spares which weren’t shown but would have been if any images were damaged. The images were much better viewed as prints, as all your great pictures should be.

We had 211 visitors in total and loads of great feedback. The club should give itself a big pat on the back.

Summer Outing 2024

The summer outing will be to Holy Island on Sunday 9th June. Access in favourable tides is from 08:40 until 15:35 Holy Island Safe Crossing Times (northumberland.gov.uk)

After Holy Island, we can head for Berwick Upon Tweed for a wander around the old town and harbours.

The evening meal is proposed for The Collingwood Arms at Cornhill but that is yet to be decided upon.

Again this year it will be car sharing for transport.
