In light of the rapidly changing situation with regard to the spread of the coronavirus and the most recent government advice, Hexham & District Photographic Society has decided to suspend the programme for the rest of the season, including tonight’s meeting at the Torch Centre. We will therefore postpone the AGM and the Society Awards night until the beginning of next season in September if circumstances have improved sufficiently. We are currently considering running the Print of the Year Competition digitally so that the entries can be received and judged remotely, in order that we can complete this season’s competitions. Please let me know if you have any objections to this course of action Read More …
