The team starting to organise the 60th Birthday celebrations, asked if I would like to collate a selection of images under the banner: “Our Community Today”.

I was delighted to be involved but thought it would be nice to include other’s photographs too. Both Kate Bewick and Hugo Klip are well known for their photography around the community and so seemed ideal folk to involve in the project.

Eventually we agreed to each offer around thirty images each from which I selected the twenty-five to be printed and framed and for display in the upper foyer of the Universal Hall in Autumn 2022. However, it seemed such a sad waste for the remainder not to be seen by everyone. So I have now made a simple video slideshow containing all the photographs and invite you to have a look.

The three of us hope you enjoy watching and celebrating the community’s birthday on the 17th November 2022.

Light & Blessings,
