The committee has been discussing whether Gwynfa Camera Club should continue to operate as normal during the Coronavirus pandemic.
We have consulted with both Llantrisant Community Council, our forthcoming guest speakers and judges (a couple of whom did not want to travel) and feel that the only responsible thing to do is to close for a while. Anything else, we feel, would be unwise and place an unfair burden of responsibility on us as a Committee.
Therefore, for the safety of all concerned we are cancelling all meetings until the end of April.
The situation will be reviewed towards the end of April.
We’ll keep you fully informed by email, website and social media.
Below is the merit table after the first three competitions of 2020.It is very tight at the top with five photographers tied on 57 points.
Please note, we will not be taking any account of dropped scores until the final Merit Table in December. As usual, contact Geoff Howard to report an inaccuracies.
The winners of the March monthly open competition were as follows:

This from David Straker at Abergavenny… Thanks David!
In case anyone is kicking their heels, I’ve added a page on the Abergavenny website for interesting YouTube channels, including for general photography and editing.

For the uninitiated, channels contain multiple videos and are often the work of one person or team.
