Our Next Outing – Saturday 21 February

One-off Workshop
On Saturday 28 February Steve Jones will lead a workshop to help less-experienced members plug gaps in their photographic knowledge or who need clarification on, for example, entering competitions. Topics will be driven by participants’ questions. This will be held at Steve’s house in Chislehurst at 10am and will finish by 1pm. Please tell Steve at a club meeting or email pdisecretary@bromleycameraclub.org.uk if you wish to attend. This is open to all members and there is no charge.
What’s on at the Weekend

Evening Visit to the Photographic Studio in Hayes
If anyone is interested in another evening visit to the photographic studio in Hayes could you please let Betty know.
Can anyone help Charles Addington (addingtonch@hotmail.com)>
Charles is looking for information about an old photograph from the 1950s; he is trying to find records of Rowley Studios Ltd, which was at 224 High Street, Bromley, when the firm ceased operation about 1959. This photo studio was apparently succeeded at the same location by Jack Garnham (Photographic) Ltd, which was dissolved in 1967. The Bromley Archives have no records of the above photographers, and Charles was wondering if any of our historically minded members has any idea where records of Rowley Studios might now be found.
