Colour show 2025 Report by Andrea Irvine
Hailsham Photographic Society hosted the annual Colour Show Friday 7th of March in the evening and Saturday afternoon and evening on the 8th March. The show was a great success presenting multiple Audio Visuals showcasing our members images and creativity. Within the show there was an introduction sequence by David Brooker who does the most incredible job producing the show, Natural History by Jean mills, a finale and a Charity sequence from our chosen charity the East Sussex Wildlife Rescue Ambulance Service showing the great work they do. HPS held an AV competition on 3rd February (results below) which is then featured in the show, when presenting these Audio Visuals to the audience they could vote on their favourite with voting cards handed to them upon arrival. Jack Taylor won the audience over with his AV titled ‘Where have all the flowers gone’ this was a beautifully put together piece which really bought out emotions to all that watched. Congratulations Jack. Two additional sequences were also shown which due to covid were not presented previously ‘Victorian photography album’ by Richard Goldsmith and ‘In wonder of’ by Jack Taylor. During the interval we held a raffle which is always a great hit and made for an entertaining break with tea and coffee all round and prizes kindly donated by our members. Our MC for the showings was Ray Beckwith who did a great job keeping things fun with lots of laughter. From the show we were able to donate £1000 to our charity deeming our fundraising successful. The East Sussex Wildlife Rescue Ambulance Service were in attendance with a information stand and presented an insightful Sequence about the tough job they do for our wildlife. Our annual Colour Show has been running for many years and would not be possible without all the members who contribute either by showcasing their work, presenting prints for our print display which runs alongside the show and of course all members who step up and volunteer for each position to allow for the smooth running of the show! Special thanks to David Brooker our Producer, to Susan Trangmar with help from Daniel Trangmar for being our excellent new Coordinator. Thanks again to Ray Beckwith for being our MC, Jenifer George for looking after the ticket sales, Shaw Freeborn and his team for arranging the print display, Pam Maclay and Nicola Stone for the raffle, Diane Bickerstaff and Christine Puttock and their team for the all-important refreshments, David Phillips for the publicity and placing a number of A3 posters around the town, also a big thanks to Graham Wilkinson for arranging the placement of the A2 posters in A frames around the town. Thanks to all the volunteers who formed the important welcoming team at the entrance, Bob Sherrard for setting up and taking down the screen and to Sally for all the help and support. So much hard work goes into the show and the club works so hard to make sure it’s an enjoyable event. Below you will find the results from the Audio-Visual competition, a total of thirteen entries from ten entrants including three new members.
