It is with sadness that we have learnt of the passing of Terrick Meakin ARPS founder of the Crown Monochrome Group and life member.
Terrick inspired many of our members and was a wizard in the Darkroom, he lead us all with great enthusiasm for many years.
He was a member of the RPS and was a lecturer for Fotospeed and the WCPF.
Known through out the club world for his printing and he always had a great story to tell.
He leaves a son David.
He will be missed.

Programme 2026.
Please Note: The venue for our meeting has changed. (Unless otherwise stated all meetings will be at the St. Bartholomew's Church Hall, Wick, BS30 5PD)

An evening with Les Loosemore, ARPS, DPAGB, AWPF
Les is a great friend to Crown and we look forward to his evenings of great stories and photography.

20th July

Kevin Walters.
Finding Mojo.
My preference is not to show and describe individual prints on a single light stand, but to lay out a collection of prints and invite members to come forward to take a closer look.
I think photographs should speak for themselves, and club members are knowledgeable enough to decide for themselves what they like and dislike.
This looks to be an interesting evening.

17th August

Landscapes in Monochrome.
Monochrome can make very powerful landscapes, technique is all.
Show us your landscapes, be they country or Urban, great vistas or close, show us your work.
New work welcome.

Bring a friend.
Why not invite a friend to bring some of their work to share with us, they need only to enjoy Monochrome photography, bring either or both prints or projected images, there would be no pressure to join us but to share our evening.
New work welcome.
