58 members each had a panel of prints on display. These panels are usually themed the choice is left to the individuals concerned.
Whilst the majority of images have been taken and printed digitally, some still choose to use old processes or mix old methods with new.
Visitors were asked to vote for their favourite panel and the winner was Tad Moyseovicz, who will hold the Richmond Trophy for the forthcoming year.

There were over 700 images on display during the exhibition. Approx.200 members and
guests attended the Opening and Private View,
with 617 visitors during the remainder of the exhibition.Despite having the extra day of opening (i.e. Easter Monday) visitors were down
by about 25% - perhaps due to exceptionally fine weather during the period, the recession or a combination of both.
Next year the exhibition will take place from Wednesday 4th
to Sunday 15th April 2012. Please come along to see an extraordinarily wide collection of subjects and enjoy
the photographs we have so much pleasure in presenting to friends and visitors. You will be assured of a warm welcome.
