Annual Match with Crayford CC
Several of our members went to Crayford on 31 January
for the Annual Competition Match with Crayford Camera
Club. Unfortunately the judge was unable to attend. So,
at the last minute, Carol White-Griffiths was
'volunteered' to give a non-scoring critique on the
prints and images entered by Crayford with Andy Smith
from Crayford doing the same for the entries from
Dartford. By general consent the match was deemed a
draw!
Portrait Evening at Walk Tall
On Wednesday, 25th of January, six members of the club
went along to Walk Tall Village in Northfleet for a

David Scott
as an international man of mystery
Sarah Jackaman

Pictures taken on the evening will be used by Walk Tall
(which is a registered charity - http://www.walk-tall.org.uk/index.html)
and the individual performers for publicity purposes.
Thanks to Walk Tall for all their help, which created an
enjoyable and productive evening for everyone involved.
