March Camera Club

Delayed post, on Thursday 26th March we enjoyed a presentation from one our clubs long standing members John Band, entitled 'Gypsy Life' 📸

John has followed the travelling community for years, photographing various fairs including the iconic Appleby Fair in Cumbria 📸

In 2024 John collaborated with Chatteris Museum and One Voice 4 Travellers and a book was published to document the exploration of a hidden history of Chatteris and it's District 📸

I have included some photos from the publication below 📸

Thank you John for sharing your images and the stories behind them 👏🏻 📸

March Camera Club, Thursday 7.30pm March Library, Wordsworth Room, all welcome 📸
