The club were proud to see those who had previously visited and those visiting the exhibition for the first time.

They welcome all comments on their photography, especially over a cup of tea or coffee kindly served by members of the church.

The public voted for their favourite photograph out of the 113 on display.

A total of 262 votes very cast and the following are the top three.
