Joan was one of the Founding members of the club, an active member being our Competition Secretary until 2018 when ill health forced her to leave.

 "When I reached my retirement Joan suggested that I take up photography and so introduced  me to   the joy of photography and to the club.  She was a very competent and enthusiastic photographer   and was always very generous with her time helping the novices in the club.   She will be sadly   missed by many and especially the older members who knew her in better times"  David Cowling
