If you remember seeing a group of photographers walking round Wilmslow in the early summer, they weren't the local paparazzi in search of a famous footballer, but members of Wilmslow Guild Photographic Society (WGPS) on the quest for images of Wilmslow.
Photographers were given a brief to take images of Wilmslow town centre which were to be entered into the first competition of the 2011-2012 season. Around 20 photographers participated and submitted their images which were voted for in the inaugural meeting of the Society on 21st September.
The top 3 winning images, as shown above, were: 'A place of contrast or extremes' by Pat Sawas which took the top spot, 'Crown Green Bowlers' by Clare Metcalfe which came second and 'Lindow Rushes' by Michael Hilton which came third.
Now the photographic club season has recommenced, Wilmslow Guild Photographic Society meets on Wednesdays 7.15pm for 7.30pm at The Guild, Bourne Street.
More information about WGPS activities for 2011-2012 can be found on www.wgps.org.uk or by emailing [email protected]. The Society is for everyone who enjoys taking photographs, whether in digital or traditional film formats, from beginner to expert. New members are always welcome to join.
