The 2025/26 Musselburgh Camera Club season ended on 30th April 2025 with the AGM and the presentation of trophies. Teas, biscuits and cakes were provided by Jennifer Davidson and Liz Sowler, with help from Karen Woodcock, Jim Innes and others. Although the AGM is our last meeting at the Fisherrow centre this season, we are planning a series of activities through the year, so watch out for notifications or check our latest activities page. The club has a private Facebook page which members can join to be notified about events and to chat during the summer.

Members had an opportunity during the evening to suggest and vote for the topics for next year’s set subject tournament. The top results were:

1. Travel
2. City Lights
3. The Perfect Panorama

which become the themes for next year’s set subject rounds 1, 2 and 3. The AGM finished with a presentation of trophies and medals. The full list of trophy and medal winners can be found on the following page. Well done to all of this year’s winners!

Trophy Winners – 2025/2026

Our club will be hosting a visit by Mölnlycke fotoklubb members on 14th, 15th and 16th May this year. The current plan for their 3 day visit is as follows:

• 14th May – A visit to Edinburgh and Musselburgh, followed by a social evening at the Fisherrow Centre.
• 15th May – An early morning visit to Rosslyn Chapel followed by visits to the Forth Bridges, Dalkeith Country Park and Butterdean Wood.
• 16th May – A flexible day touring the East coast for wildlife and bird watching, with the possibility of a boat trip to Bass Rock (if spaces are available).

Please watch out for notifications and come along to the activities. Thank you to Ed Robertson, Gavin Marshall and Charlie Baird for offering to help with transport.

The club’s exhibition will be touring local libraries during the summer. Here is the current timetable and list of volunteers. Thank you to everyone who volunteered so far. Please let Steven or Ed know if you would like to volunteer for the 11th July, 25th July or 8th August slots.

We agreed at the AGM to start the next season 3 weeks earlier than usual, so the first meeting of the 2026/27 season will be on Thursday, 13th August 2026. I look forward to seeing you there.
