It is with much sadness that we learnt of the passing of Terrick Meakin last week. He was the longest serving member of Trowbridge Camera Club.

Terrick was an inspiration and mentor to many. He seemed to know everybody in the photography community and the breadth of his knowledge, especially anything related to mono photography was unsurpassed – he was a firm believer in the value of the printed image.

Often with a twinkle in his eye, his enthusiasm for photography was infectious and he was always more than happy to help everyone at the club with useful advice and encouragement. He will be sadly missed but not forgotten.

This Thursday we will be having a photowalk – “Trowbridge in Focus”. Postponed from earlier in the season – members will hit the town with the aim to capture a series of images that are “Uniquely Trowbridge”. So bring along your cameras, tripods etc. and let’s hope the weather is kinder this time!
